I've found bottom ported speakers the easiest to mate with my room however.
In the case of the rear port, some companies offer a plug for the port if the bass is too heavy in the room. As a hobbyist, I have at least one set of my own that does just that. It is a small rear ported minimonitor that can be changed to a low Q sealed box using the plug. Maybe I just got lucky but the low Q alignment at just over .6 mates well when the speaker is too close to a rear wall and I get to unplug them when the speakers are out on stands. I think a few companies are doing this too.
Does anybody know of a supplier of port tubes that offer mated plugs for them? Those in my own speakers are not WAF approved. She likened mine to molotov cocktails.
