You mentioned rear ports. Keep in mind that rear ports usually have to stay a couple of feet away from the rear wall or they get boomy. If it's truly a cabin and not a home you won't have room for this. Go sealed or front ports...
Tower vs Similar Bookshelf?
I asked this question in an unrelated thread but did not get an answer so I'm going to see what kind of input I get by posting as a separate thread:
I'm looking at lower end speakers for my cabin.
I was looking at a certain brand and noticed their lowest end small tower speaker had a 6.5" woofer and 1" tweeter. These were the same woofer and tweeter that come in one of their bookshelf speakers. The towers cost about $100-$150 more than the bookshelf version. Both have bass ports in the the rear.
My question is: Is there any sonic benefit over the tower model verses the bookshelf model with essentially the same hardware? Better bass? Different crossover? Any thoughts appreciated.
