Subwoofer question


I read in an older thread in which someone was describing how a "swarm" sub system was being installed, that the individual subs were placed close to the wall and facing the wall. This last part triggered my question which is:

What is the rationale behind facing the subs toward the wall?

Many thanks, Fred

Right @oldhvymec, Danny Richie of GR Research always uses four subs, both at hi-fi shows and in the system at his place. A pair of ob's somewhere in the front of the room, and a pair of sealed subs (the F12G) in the back. His room was voted Best-Bass-At-The-Show at numerous RMAF's.

@russ69: As a fellow owner (former in my case) of the RS-1b loudspeaker, let me recommend you try to hear one the Rythmik servo-feedback subs, which replaced the 1b woofer towers in my system.
