250Ti Port Stuffing

[Andyoz]

Hi tech gurus,

What is ther effect of stuffing the port on 250Ti's in terms of frequency response?

Has anyone else done this to tame ther low-end in a 'boomy' room. Mine are in a large room with masonry walls.

I have tried stuffing with acoustic fiber with the reasoning this would be a easy way to change the tuning of the port. I did not spend much time with it because I had issues with resonance at multiple frequencies more in the middle of the bass range. I was able to attentuate the resonance around 50Hz but the effect on low base was not so welcome. I frankly got better results with a 32 band equalizer at the expense of inserting a potential source of noise into the chain.

I also tried and it didn't help a bit in the boomy range of bass.

Bass traps can be very helpful in a room with strong bass modes.
