RE: Rear port pros and cons (not an unbiased opinion)

Provided the Speaker stand is designed with rear-port in mind, a downward-firing port gives nothing away to rear-firing port in terms of praticality.

The port length is not infinitely adjustable and there is nothing to stop to a variable length downward or front-firing ports. Therefore, I fail to see how a variable length port provides unique advantages to rear-firing ports. At any rate Kef and Tannoy have used front firing ports very effectively in their coaxial designs in both domestic and profesional applications such that I fail to see any other advantage for rear-firing ports than their ability to take of boundary reinforcement.
