If I plug the ports on a ported speaker, will that change the sound characteristics to be more like that of a sealed box? Or is it not advisable because of all the other design considerations, i.e. cabinet shape, crossover, woofer attachment and etc.?
This kind of makes sense now that I think about it. These trade offs must have been at the heart (or close to it) of the design philosophy of M&K; sealed boxes in combination with a sub and bass management. Perhaps it isn't surprising that my search of a replacement for my S-85s includes the NHT Classic Three, also a sealed box.
Don_c55, thanks for posting the link.
