. . . rear-firing makes the speaker more sensitive to room placement? I've got Paradigm Minimonitors with rear-firing ports, and placement is always a compromise between bass (i.e. closer to wall) and clarity/imaging/etc (i.e. more into the room). I didn't notice such a distinction with my previous speakers which had front-firing ports.That is, does rear-firing make it easier to get more bass by using boundaries?
