Actually it does have a lot to do with the ear's ability to localise the position of a sound source.I would also think with all drivers firing front.You would have to listen further back then side firing...just my take and if wrong I stand to be corrected..always willing to learn.
Are side firing woofers only for aesthetics?
I have read that side firing woofers are there for improved sonics but I think they are designed into the speaker to give it a smaller footprint (WAF) and to look cool. Does anyone else think this is the aim of the speaker designers?
Yes I know bass is essentially non directional. Still I have always preferred speakers with front facing woofers with rare exceptions.
