I switched from ported (for literally 25 years) to sealed and am much happier with the sound.

There's little, if any, substitution for not locating the subwoofer/s in or very near the rooms greatest bass modes. Playing a low frequency test tone through a subwoofer placed at the listening position while walking the room noting areas with the loudest bass is a simple means of locating the rooms mode location/s. If you insist on front wall corner or next to the speakers location, good luck. |
I take it from your post that you are only running one sub. I know that many people advocate two subs, but I have had very good results with a single SVS 2000. Plenty of grunt when called for (by a movie typically) but pretty invisible in supplementing the bass response of my La Scalas, which are not known for great bass. |
A horrible compromise at best and only recommended if you can do nothing about the response of your mains. Meaning, no high pass filter and won’t/can’t plug your port. Many A'goners have gone the other way and been much happier. |
