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

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

Also the Harbeth C 7ES-3 XD seem to be front ported.

Unfortunately there's no other solution to the positioning. It's either deal with it or not add speakers.

There are speakers that are OK to be in a cabinet, that's how they were designed. I think some Devore and Revival models but I would check with the manufacturer.
