Is Epifani UL front or rear ported?

I searched TB and Epifani's Web site and couldn't find the answer. I need to know whether the UL110 or 112 is front or rear ported.

I used to own 2 of these, and if memory serves me right they were FRONT ported. If it is THAT important to you, I would call Epifani and find out.

+1. Front.

...if it has to be front ported or rear ported for the look you want, then it is what it is, but it makes absolutely zero sonic difference...

I understand it makes no sonic difference. Because of the way my practice room is set up, I would need to place the cab at a particular position. IME, rear-ported cabs caused some things in that room to vibrate (e.g., paper on the printer!).

The low frequency long wavelengths from a port have exactly the same effect no matter where the port is located. If there's a difference between how different cabs cause things to vibrate it's not the port location that makes the difference.
