I have to agree with Russ here. I have a pair of Pioneer CS-77 speakers, the drivers of which were shot. I tried to replace them with good quality drivers while I was still working, but I've never really been satisfied with them. They have one port in each cabinet. I even completely redid the crossovers with new caps and chokes. Still not really happy with them.
On the other hand, I also bought a pair of Teac LS-350 speakers from the same person I bought my CS-77s from. Same story...shot drivers...I replaced all of the drivers as well as the capacitors in the crossover networks and they sound fantastic. No ports. The Teacs have a mid-century look about them. They are probably from the late 1960s or early 1970s.
(Disclaimer: I knew going in that the drivers were shot. I bought these just for the cabinets. As a result, they were cheap.)
