Indeed. I also recommend the LSR305's. KRK Rokit 6 would be a second choice. As for stuffing the port on the JBL's, its certainly worth experimenting. Mine were set about a foot off the wall with 2" rigid fiberglass panels(Owens-Corning 703) and sounded really good with surprising low end for a small box(room acoustics, dimensions and speaker placement will all have some affect on the sound of any speakers)
