Can you give me an example of a front ported speaker you feel this is true for?

Non-rear ported Speakers
First, I have read that front ported speakers are not sonically viable. Any credence to that minority opinion?
Second, I am finding them enjoyable in my near-near field garage system. Small Ushers and Monitor Bronze 2.
Looking to add a third under $800, new or used. Any suggestions? Looking strongly at the Triangle Bro3. Sealed options are fine.
Mishmash of integrated amplification. Vintage Pioneer A-51. Various class A/B, D, T. Garage is experiment city.
Near-near field about 3 feet. I brush my teeth with the music down here.

The best imaging most enthralling speakers I ever heard were the front ported Linaeum Model 10. For a more recent example, Tekton seems to be taking the audio world by storm. I really never heard of this crazy front ported rule thing before. A fairly safe rule of thumb is any time you hear someone say something technical is never the way to go, listening to them is probably never the way to go. Unless, of course, its me. |
I had a pair of B&W N804s about 15 years ago and they excited room
resonances far more than other speakers I had in the same location.
Looking at the Stereophile measurements I wonder if this isn't more due to the port tuning? It's set to a pretty low frequency. |
