I am posting this at the Avalon sub-forum since this manufacturer has taken both ways at different points in time; early models were all sealed enclosures (Eclipse, Ascent, etc..) but recent ones are mostly ported (Ascendant and Eidolon to name a few) - I had always liked sealed boxes over ported ones - better bass definition and a more integrated sound, but I recognize the benefits of ported ones, like being less room-sensitive and the abilty to go lower in the band.
Are there any other considerations for speaker manufacturers to go one way or the other?
