General? Many (most?) front ported or sealed speakers do not do well stuck close to walls

This may be a necessary condition, but is not sufficient. My LS3/5As are sealed. They sound OK a foot or so away from walls. They sound very good, if you make that distance a meter. If you make the distance even larger, they begin to sound like a symphony.

This weekend, a guest at our flat, asked me what subwoofer I was using!
