If you have a small or small-medium room like me, i suggest using a sealed speaker. I am new to hifi. Discovering a nht superone 2.1 and zero 2.1 are aweone. I can place these a few inch away from wall and get amazing sound with very good bass from superone.
One speaker observation from the New York Hifi show.
I was just at the New York Hifi show, and perhaps because of the size of the rooms, all speakers were toed in, and most were toed in severely. The result was very little effective imaging. Most sound appeared to come from one central spot between the speakers. I realize hotel rooms are not ideal, but even in the larger rooms, noticible toe ins were prevalent I don’t believe this positioning shows systems off to their best advantage. To me, speakers pointing straight ahead produces the best imaging.
