Front Ported vs. Rear + Distance from wall


If your speakers are front ported does this enable you to place them closer to the rear wall?

Why?

How close?

Thanks

Yes, you can place front-ported speakers closer to a wall. The reason: Boundaries reinforce low frequencies, and ports are tuned to reproduce low frequencies. The distance depends on what your ears perceive as sounding good!
