Since the back of the speakers are boat-tailed, there was no way to get ports on the rear.  They are technically on the side, but point toward the rear.

The speakers will be sold in matching pairs, with a definite left and right speaker (ports are positioned to the outside of the listening area).

Nice!

I need to start saving my pennies, let's see.  I have about $70 right now.  I can sell my cornwall IIs for $1000, my vert cornwall for $500, that leaves only $13,430 to go. No big.  Hopefully the matching center channel is only $5,000 or so.
