Front ported speakers are better if your spouse wears "the pants" in the house, and she requires you to hide your speakers in livingroom cupboards or cabinets for WAF conditions.
If the 'cupboard' fits, then you might want to consider front ported speakers.
Well, it is said that front ported is easier to put closer to the wall than rear ported speaker,but thats not always the case,anyway either with a good designed port it does not matter,they both deliver the goods.
Paul what if you don't have much space. That even happens to single people..lol! Hey Paul did the guy I sent over to your house in your absence to replace your CV's with Bose cubes fail in his mission...bummer. I'm going to have to ask for refund.
