If you stick the speakers in a niche you will get some funny bumps and dips in the frequency response -- exact frequency will depend on the size of the niche.
For a typical niche (a bit bigger than the speaker) the frequencies would be in the 500 to 1000 Hz range, which normally makes for a bit of a boxy sound. Note that this has nothing to do with the port, it's just related to "putting a speaker in a hole".
The last thing you want is to have the port going into one room and the woofers going into the other room -- the whole idea is that the port provides additional energy in the lower frequencies but that only works if both port and woofers are opening into the same room.
I think the in-wall speakers would work better for your application. They have the ports on the front (at the bottom, I think) so the port output blends with the speaker output.

You are correct as usual John, the ports are on the bottom of the speaker. I noticed a substantial differacne in the sound of the W3s once installed in the wall than compared to the sound when I was playing with them before they were in the wall. [

Thanks for the advice. I think I will switch over to the on wall speakers and go from there. I can't believe that folks on this board are so responsive and helpful. Again, thank you very much.

That's a wise choice for your application imo.

... but what makes it all work is that we only expect beers when we are in the same town as you, and nobody ever has time to travel
