Side-firing woofers CAN require getting used to if you're not familliar with working with them.
(My statemet repeated from another Coincident thread):
__________
Placement: Because they have side-firing double woofers that are not on a straight line vertically from each other, the speaker can be a little tricky to place in some rooms. The staggered woofer configuration can make it difficult to determine the best placement based on room dimensions in relationship to the woofers. I recommend the Cardas speaker placement formula; see their website.

Perhaps I was "slow" to adapt to side-firing woofers because I was so used to all-front firing drivers, but it took me about a couple months of diddling around to get a bass bloat to go away when I started using the Coincident Super Eclipses. Maybe I am just 'slow.'
