Thanks for your comments!
I agree about losing bottom end extension by closing the bottom port (tried it in the store).
I am planning to get them into a room about 12" wide, maybe 16" deep and 9" high. I am moving up from the Synchrony Twos for which I actually kept the bottom 2 ports plugged and have them 3 to 4 feet from the walls, and have cushioning in the corners!!! Although that's also a function of listening to modern recorded music which is artificially fattened up in the bass.
Although the Twos were reviewed by Absolute Sound as being a bit on the bass heavy side anyway, the Ones are supposed to be much more neutral.
