B&W uses that on their $30K + home audio speakers, it suspossed to reduce that amount of noisiness that the air makes as the ports produce the very low end frequencies. Sure is a great idea, but that is a whole big ball of wax that requires a LOT of knowledge. would Tim or Paul know? There is a home audio GURU here in Calgary, I can ask him if nobody else knows.

No sir... you want faster moving air... which is why we round corners and make sure the box is as smooth as possible on the inside..
