I haven't kept up with the whole thread, but I'll be looking at getting one of these likely. For the price, it's good - and it'll go well with my amplifier. Especially since my old school JL's are dead on me. Just have to get my old speakers sold - and I'll be able to send along a payment for one.
Question - for the lower end response, aiming for SQL, should I go ahead and go ported? I want a deep response, but I still want a good bass response in the upper ranges (not mid-bass, but arond 100-150hz), considering my front stage sucks, and can't be upgraded due to several reasons.
I'm debating on whether to go sealed or ported.
