Non-rear ported Speakers

First, I have read that front ported speakers are not sonically viable. Any credence to that minority opinion? 
Second, I am finding them enjoyable in my near-near field garage system. Small Ushers and Monitor Bronze 2. 
Looking to add a third under $800, new or used. Any suggestions? Looking strongly at the Triangle Bro3. Sealed options are fine.
Mishmash of integrated amplification. Vintage Pioneer A-51. Various class A/B, D, T. Garage is experiment city.
Near-near field about 3 feet. I brush my teeth with the music down here.

Erik,
 Not all myths are opinions nor should one shirk from justifying one's beliefs by playing the relativity card. That said, specifically I like my speakers to separate the instruments with detail. I enloy the element of surprise. I know recording and sources do much of this, but some speakers seem lazy and smear the sound. Also just seeing if there are any reinforcing opinions or contrary thoughts about front ports. And asking for a modest suggestion for a third non-rear port speaker. Wharefedale 225 has a bottom porting system.  Considering those also. My garage systems are about learning different amp presentations and different mid-level stand mounters. Eclectic music, no particular genre. Classical piano one week, Radio Paradise the next. I don't think my giant garage lends itself to rear ports and since I listen so close to the speakers the front ports will connect the bass to my ears without time for it to disperse improperly. Obviously I have no clue about bass dispersion. Hence my thread.  Joe
