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.
