Should "sound quality" builds ever use ported boxes?

[QUOTE="Danometal, post: 8129122, member: 636337"] Sealed = SQ / Ported = SPL is an unfortunate misconception, just like the misconception that larger speakers are "slower" than smaller speakers. My system is straight SQ oriented, and I went ported (tuned very low to 25 hz) for flat frequency response. Garbage pre-fab ported boxes are largely responsible for the anti-SQ reputation, as most of them are way too small and tuned way too high. So, by comparison, yes, any sealed box will mop the floor with a pre-fab ported box for SQ. Most pre-fabs fart like box fans at any kind of reasonably low frequency. [/QUOTE]
