In all of my years as an audio addict, I always seem to prefer sealed enclosures, especially for subwoofers. There are great ported speakers as there are great sealed ones, but when I do my listening tests, I listen for a similar bass note that exists as a kick note, this can be found on Aerosmith's Rats in the Cellar or Fleetwood Mac's Dream's, most profund bass notes I ever heard were on systems that had sealed enclosures or used sealed subwoofers. Having experienced for myself what I am describing, I would probably continue to add a sub to the equation to any ported design speaker I own.
