Try looking at the link that Richard provided above. For your convenience, i've included it here.
Once you get done reading the text and looking at their test results, you'll see that a sealed design has far less group delay / ringing ( four times less ) than a ported design. It is therefore FAR "tighter" sounding and measurably more "accurate" than a vented design, active equalization or not. Don't even think about passive radiator designs as they are like turtles compared to either sealed or ports. In this case, well designed ports ( almost a contradiction in terms for most designs ) are the "lesser of two evils" by a long shot.On top of all of this, sealed designs maintain a lower impedance peak at resonance. This allows the amp to load up / control the speaker in a far more linear manner. Most vented designs have HUGE impedance peaks ( plural, not just one peak ) and therefore not only "ring" more naturally, but are less controllable at the same time. Sean
>PS... I didn't mean to hurt your audiophile ego, i was just trying to state facts and educate those willing to learn.
