Look how bloated the low-end becomes once room gain is added in. And more importantly, look at how the phase response and especially the group delay tear up at low frequencies. This is indicating that the speaker will be underdampened at low frequencies in a ported box, even one designed as expertly as possible. The low-frequency output will definitely increase, but it will be out of porportion with the output at higher frequencies, and the bass will be loose and flabby"</blockquote>
