[QUOTE="WhoIsJOB, post: 1110765, member: 23312"] What does not make logical sense? Back ported speakers too close to walls produce extra bass - that's why some companies provide the bongs that can be placed inside the ports to dampen the bass. Sealed speakers don't have this problem as much. I've experienced this first hand with both my Bentley FR100 (rear-ported) and NHT 1.5 (sealed cabinet) speakers. Bentleys sounded boomy and muddy on my desk against the wall in my current room at louder volumes, but not in previous room where I had some space behind and to the sides of them. NHT's sound much the same from previous room and in current room, even at louder volumes, thus I kept them and let go of the Bentleys due to space constraints. There is no fault with the Bentleys - they just need some space to shine. I loved them in my previous room and will recommend them to anyone if they will be used in an environment with space. But we are deviating from OP's question. There are many forums and videos on this topic. [MEDIA=youtube]mjliP25NiW4[/MEDIA] I've experienced it first-hand and in much the same situation as OP, hence my advice to go with sealed cabinet speakers. [/QUOTE]
