Looking for a great front ported bookshelp speaker recommendation


Hi everyone,

After about a 15 year hiatus from hifi, I'm looking to get back into it. I'm looking for a front ported bookshelf speaker. The reason is that it's going to go inside a cabinet and right against a back wall. My budget is up to $5,000 but the less, the better:) Any advice or guidance would be appreciated.

TIA

Great choice and advice by soix...don't underestimate the negative effect of the cabinet the speakers are going into...might make the more expensive model not worth it...

Thanks, the ATCs seem nice.

Other brands I was considering were Triangle Audio and possibly a Focal model.

Please keep the rec's coming.

Here are some front ported ones:

GrahamAudio LS8
Falcon m30
Ushers-520
Triangle 40th AnniversaryCmEZ
PolkAudio T15
Mission 700
Indiana TESI261
Harbeth Super HL5XD
Elac Debut 2 0B5
ATC SCM150 PSLT
Aperionaudio Verus n5b

My understanding is that a front port is not a solution to bad positioning. I'm with @soix
