Yes front ported will allow you to place them closer to the wall. But don't let that be the deciding vote when making a choice. You can chose a speaker that is rear ported and keep it close to the wall for casual listening. And bring it out when you want to listen more intensely.
Front port vs Rear port
Hello all,
Trying to decide on the final pieces for my set up. I know I did it backwards but some deals came up before I could decide on speakers.
I am down to a few choices for my speakers, but I do have one nagging question. The room that everything is being set up in is only 12' X 16' so speaker placement will probably be a big issue. My question is....will a front ported set of speakers allow me to place them closer to the back wall? I know some adjustments will be necessary and it will depend on the speaker characteristics. But in general will front ports make better sense?
Thank You!
