Monitors / Monitoring

I understand the benefit of having 'limited-range' monitors alongside full-range monitors so that you can hear what your mixes will sound like on small domestic hi-fi systems. But what advantage is there in buying these monitors for £250, when a cheap pair of hi-fi speakers can cost as little as £30?

I'd like to know more about the difference between monitor designs that feature ports and those that do not. How do they differ in terms of sound and performance?
