Once my inbox had Marek's FedEx tracker, I looked at an inbound single 56.5kg carton of 82x56x121cm with an estimated 7-day turnaround from Poland's Poznan to Ireland's County Clare via the usual pitstops of Germany's Langenhagen, Holland's Duven and the UK's Kingsbury.  Though such details may seem too trivial or trying to mention, with direct sales it's useful to have anecdotal evidence on which to base realistic ship times. To them we must add delays for custom finishes about which we'll be informed upfront. I had no indications on the skin score but expected the Indian Apple veneer as flown with the first web images. Past dispatch, Marek informed me that they'd forgotten the foam port bungs which would arrive by separate mail. With two ports per channels to seal, we gain four tuning scenarios: widen open, fully closed, top or bottom port closed. Whilst not as adjustable as active bass with variable volume and low pass, bunging it is a desirable option for any passive bass-reflex speaker. A Raidho tower I reviewed once had a vertical slot port with eight discrete chambers. Each of those could be sealed off separately to change the bass-reflex tuning frequency and its relative output. It's definitely useful. Kudos to Verseo for including this easy but practical tweak.
