"....actual experiences...." *G* OK...
Agreeing with Erik @ 11:25, my modest bottom-firing sub is up against the wall. If I opt to listen to my front-firing speakers, they pass up to a pair of 12" +/- 15" above the concrete floor. They in turn pass up to a 6' active with a 6" passive physically above the 12". Both are aligned +/- 30" from the back wall to accommodate the dipole ribbon above them that takes it to top....
...when I'm not listening to omnis, anyway. *S* Not your typical approach, but I like the results. All the bass and lower mids one could want, unless you're into 'burping' in the car. Not the sort to hang out here @ AG... ;)
