Title says it all. So a little background I’m currently working on getting my setup complete last year I upgraded from bookshelf to floor standing speakers however since then I have built my own subwoofers using a um18-22 however these are sealed and the accuracy of them is phenomenal especially when compared to ported subs like the two monolith plus I had before, now I need some speakers to match in with them I’m currently using monitor audio silver 500 7g they are great speakers they just don’t sound right when I get down near the ports tune it goes all muddy and I am yet to hear a pair of ported speakers that don’t cuff when down near there tune, so I want to move over to sealed as they seem to be better for accurate reproduction of the sound being received. I’ve been hunting for months but yet all floor standing speakers seemed to be ported am I going to have to DIY it and make my own or does someone on here happen to know of where I can purchase some sealed floor standing or old school design(like lintons) that can be purchased in the UK?

    Its why im thinking of switching to a full seperates systems usb interface/dac out via xlr to each speaker and subs power amp then on the pc I will have professional mixing software so I can set the db/octave myself as I don’t think any avr/amp company is using anywhere near enough aggression on the slopes it needs be like a 36db octave and they using an 8 or 12 so it isn’t low enough by the time it reaches the lower hz thus causing it to produce the noise all be quieter but it still there and it doesn’t sound nice thus sealed seems like the only logical choice now
