(((I never thought that down firing is a good idea anyway.))
The advantage of downward firing woofers....
Imagine the ideal perfect speaker
and then you added a big forward firing port chuffing mess.
what do you think would happen to your perception of our perfect speaker?
If a woofer is properly designed, downward firing simply makes sense as there is less attension drawn to these chuffing artifacts.
Our awearness of a woofer in a system provokes a feeling
of chosing which one do I listen to?
is it compeateing for your attension?
A clean transition can happen if using a properly designed
main speaker and downward firing sub.
