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

I love the Sonus Faber Lumina II speakers. I have them on a built in bookshelf that has a platform over the cabinet that allows me to bring them out of the shelves and into the open. This reduces the bass resonance and cleans up the sound, but they could work in a shelf if you like the extra bass. I'm selling a "like new" pair in the classifieds section if you'd like to take a look.....

Well, it's a huge bookshelf speaker but I got a pair of Zu DWX Superflys, Love them. Big sound and just a pleasure to listen to. 

Dont forget that Warfdale has several nice bottom vented speakers. Clever, look good and no visible port.

JM Reynaud Bliss Silvers are excellent front ported speakers.  I’ve enjoyed mine for several years, in many locations that rear ported speakers have struggled in.
