My Dynaudio BM6s have a hole in the back as a bass port of some sort. They
sent along a pair of foam inserts with instructions to put them in if you
want the bass to be lowered. You might try the same thing.

Hi,

Anybody here who has experience with the M-Audio BX8 or BX5 monitors?!
Is it true they have a hole in the back where the low frequencies come
out, where most monitors have this at the front I believe?! If you place
your monitors against the wall, why would you want low frequencies to
come out from the back and isn't it so that in small rooms you don't
hear sub frequencies anyway? The main problem is that if there comes
bass out of the back from these monitors directly bouncing against the
wall, I am pretty sure my neighbours will complain about the noise so
therefore I was wondering if you can *completely* shut off any sound
going out from the back port using switches like "Acoustic Space" and
"Low Cutoff" on those monitors or will there always be at least some air
pressure going out from the back and should I look for other monitors?!

Thanks in advance for all good feedback!

Mike.
