Plugging ports in revel studio 2s

I actually did try this a few months ago to my Studio2s on the recommendation of a JL Audio tech. The reasoning being, that it was impossible to truly match the phase of the subs to the mains at the crossover point if the port was producing a third source. I get the logic, I guess. Anyway, I removed the bottom woofer and firmly placed a tightly rolled up piece of foam into each of the ports. I can’t say I liked the sound with the port plugged. It sounded sort of congested and too flat. I removed them after a few days. It’s really quite easy to do as long as you have the proper screwdriver (torx if I recall).

I tried port plugs on my Revel 106 and it ruined thier bottom end.... congested and definitely not an improvement. 

Thanks for the comments. Once I get my room reconfigured sounds like it may be something worth tinkering with but in the short term I’ll leave well enough alone!
