Subwoofers down-firing or side-firing? Why?


Just added down-firing subs (Omega 10", sealed) to my Omega single driver speakers. I could ask Louis, but why do you think he designed them to be down-firing?  My prior REL and Rhythmiks were side-firing (used with very different systems).

mozartfan -  real music should NEVER EVER be listened to on an audio playback system WITHOUT subwoofers.  

you obviously have no idea what you're talking about - if you ever heard a quality set up with (at least) a pair of stereo subs, you'd NEVER go back to doing without.  which is why many speaker manufacturers include separate outboard subwoofer pairs in their higher end products.

sub woofers are only meant for HT, sound effects, and parties/HIP HOP/rapp, 
But never ever for real music. 
There is no such thing as a  <<high fidelity subwoofer>>>
a  sub is only for sound efgects = anti musical.
Just thought I'd make this clear.

This site really needs an eyeroll emoji.

"The last thing ANY Mozart needs is a sub."

- said someone who never heard mozart with a pair of stereo subs...

Small listening room,three down firing HSU subs. Sounds very good to these ears.
