  Thanks for this informative video! I have a question regarding ported speakers: What do you think of sealing a ported speaker with foam plugs? Some manufacturers ship foam plugs with their speakers and recommend to play with them depending on the positioning. But if I understand the theory you explained correctly, sealing a ported speaker might not be ideal as you mention woofers are more suited for certain designs depending on their Q factor. Is this correct?<br>Personally, I&apos;ve owned a pair of speakers which excited modes in the room I used them in. Putting the foam plugs into the ports certainly helped reducing this boomy bass response and I prefered it over the ported (open) operation back then. The reason I&apos;m asking this now, is that I have small bookshelf speakers now to which I&apos;d like to add one or two subwoofers and I was thinking about sealing the ports so the subwoofer(s) take care of the lower frequencies. But the manufacturer of these speakers doesn&apos;t ship foam plugs with the speakers so I&apos;m not sure whether they&apos;re actually suited for this kind of operation.

  That was probably the best and most easily understandable explanation of the ins and outs of speakers, enclosures, and their workings. You should honestly write a book in regards to all aspects of HiFi. You’re also very well spoken, which is extremely appreciated. <br>Thanks very much, Tarun!

  I have only come across a very select few reviewers that actually give all the time and nuance to these topics that they deserve. It&apos;s either really all subjectivity/hype &nbsp;&quot;don&apos;t forget to check my affiliate links for all 500 things mentioned in this video&quot; or schilly/entertainment type deals. Really glad I found this channel. Great job describing and long form delivery that isn&apos;t boring or drawn out but enough to really break it all down. This is extremely helpful, rather than having to piece together everything on ones own through 5 different reviews and 8 forum threads. 👍

  Excellent explanations - clear, concise, interesting details without getting boring. &nbsp;I hope you can do more of this type of video. &nbsp;I also really like how you stay away from getting bogged down with specs and too much in the way of minute details. &nbsp;Great work !!!
