"If it's ported, it's distorted". But so are inexpensive sealed systems, make up your mind

You want less distortion, but you don't want to pay for units that are designed and built with components that minimize distortion.

BTW you do know that at tuning frequency a reflex system will actually have far less IM distortion than a sealed unit at same frequency?

If low distortion is you goal, then neither sealed or reflex will approach the low distortion of a front loaded bass horn with a properly sized back chamber. Down side of course is size, but nothing beats that configuration for low distortion, period. (reams of data on that if you care)

But you have made up your mind/choice, thats fine, just know that to get good sound, you need to spend good money be they reflex, horn or sealed alignment designs.

True not stratosphere pricing but possibly more than those units of the past you mentioned.
