Speaker Bass Reduction

In my opinion,Stehno;our generation has become petrified of speaking with authority.What then is the wisdom of experience (30 years in the hobby)for?It's o.k. to believe what you believe wholeheartedly and it's even more important to not care one whit who likes or doesn't like it.I am after all a taurus.Lord knows we need more honest straight hip shot voices squanking in this wilderness of hype.

Stehno - In my opinion, If you have to be told specifically that what I write is my opinion then you probably have to be told way too many other obvious things for a communication thread sufficient to your peculiar needs to be of any interest to those with engaged brains. I might have made it clear that blocking the port was tantamount to engaging in speaker redesign witch is less likely to result in a high fidelity experience than the repositioning I recommended, but even then I trust that the average reader, or even the below average reader would have been able to figure out that it still was my opinion

If you really think that clogging the port is a good way to attenuate bass, I whould be interested in reading of your experiences or reasoning in this area.

Mfkeleher, I agree with you. For the most part anyway. As nearly everything anyone says is their opinion. Especially in a subjective hobby as this.

However, every once in a while somebody comes along making a statement with such emphasis, whether intentional or not, that they make a statement sound as though it is fact. When in fact the statement clearly is not (in my opinion).

I thought I saw two examples of this type of emphasis above and that's why I pointed it out.

-IMO

Jeez guys, someone just asked for advice, and your rolling down your pants to see who's got the biggest one. Sigh..... It's already said: move you spekers away from the walls, block the ports with foam or roll up a sock and put it in (not to far, you have to be able to get it out).
It also might just be that your speakers just produce to much of the low stuff (small room, big speakers, etc). If that's the case, you might want to consider other, smaller speakers, or ones with more controlled low-end. Btw: this is all purely mu opinion, and all resemblance to actual things is pure coincidence. :)
