Who makes an active speaker that isn't ported?

I'm trying to think of a 3-way active speaker that isn't ported and coming up with a blank. If someone does such a speaker, we could be looking at sonic nirvana.

Cheers,
DB

Do you know anything about this? If so, care to expand? Cheers

No, no! You ALWAYS need filtering with a multidriver spkr system. It's just that the XO can be placed before the amp(s), each amp unit thereby connected directly to a driver & amplifying only part of the spectrum. And since it's at line level, the signal is low and there is less distortion induced than with regular passive spkrs, and there is better control. Also, amps work effortlessly, amplifying only a few octaves AND driving the driver voice coil directly. Cheers
