And small port size can mean the bass at high levels rolls off earlier than at lower levels. The port is a band pass radiator and a small port has more limited capacity to act as the port was designed for. So now you limit the plusses of a port to get bass quality that is still below a closed box.
One concept is stuffed port. If the port is sufficiently stuffed(like the old Dynaco A25) it doesn't extend the bass at all. The box resonance stays the same but the system Q, the damping or bass quality improves even over the same size closed box. But, of course, the amount of bass is lower even though it goes as deep as the regular closed box.
