In Reply to: Sealed vs Ported cabinets posted by RC on January 26, 2008 at 05:30:36:
Tomservo has covered the subject very well, so I'll just add a couple of comments.
With a ported cabinet, the designer has greater freedom to shape the low-end response in anticipation of room acoustics and/or amplifier damping factor. The response shape can be adjusted after the enclosure has been built by changing the port length (and/or diameter), something that could even be done by the end-user.
Note also that high efficiency woofers usually have parameters that will not give good bass extension in a sealed box no matter how large, so if you equate "efficiency" with "tube-friendly" your choices will be dominated by ported (or possibly horn-loaded) speakers instead of sealed boxes.
