Thinking of switching from Sealed to Ported

Compromise. Mostly.

You'd need a pretty big cabinet (and all the issues that brings) to get the bass depth people want.

I've nothing against ported subs (i own one!) But I wouldn't use them for music as they're not dynamic enough, they're noisier and the ports are usually tuned to specific frequencies that are outside of typical music.
What compromise do you mean? What do you mean by dynamic? Sealed subs are the least efficient. What do you mean by noisier? What does it matter where the ports are tuned?

I do prefer sealed box centers over ported.
Not many sealed speakrs exist, NHT are one. Most ported

Exactly.

ATC make quite a number of them, but they're not the most efficient beasts. Sound wonderful though.
