Now, I forgot to mention my 1960s Wharfedale W-60 speakers. They are two-way speakers with a port in each, and they do sound good. Not quite as good as my Teac cabinets with new drivers, though, but better than the Pioneer cabinets.

Based upon my experience with the Pioneer cabinets and Russ' comments, I am tempted to seal the openings in the Pioneers. Those aren't the typical tuned ports anyway, but merely a rectangular opening below the woofer in each cabinet.
