Good points.
The little Bose that I have a front ported. One of the Klipsch bookshelves I've looked at have a front port. The tower cited above has a front port. The Polk Audio tower has a bottom omnidirectional port so any of those would do.
However, I've actually messed with positioning the Bose and to be honest, for a cabin and being driven by an almost 40 year old receiver they don't sound all that bad. I'm probably going to stick with them for now.
