I think I am not the best person to ask. My limited exposure to ports went successful, even though I admit that I did not invest any efforts of knowledge to be successful with ports.  I hated them before and my failure with my trying to use port ignorantly only solidified my hate. So, I do not think that I am a good a good collaborator about ports and how to make them to sound well since I do not believe in ports.
What should you be looking at in the reflex enclosure performance?

Listen for bass inertia and very poor transient response. Ports floods bass articulation no matter what you do to them. Listen for cleanliness of vowels. No one single box reflex enclosure that I heard able to reproduce atomic vowels clean. I can go on and on about it but I do not see point. I will abandon this thread and let you to talk with people who feel that ports might sound fine. I am not one of them.
