Raising Subs?

Curious if anyone has raised their subs off the floor. If so, what was the result. Much difference?  I have 2 small subs that run at a very low volume level and am actually pleased with the setup. But if there would be a SIGNIFICANT improvement.

Also they are in a down firing configuration. Any improvement changing to front firing?

Like I said, I like what I have, so improvement would have to be very noticeable.

Thanks in advance.

Re "significant improvement"... I really can't say because they generally are working well as is. You know how it is...always looking for something better.

The idea of smoothing  out nodes further is appealing and I may try raising just one to see what happens.

Thanks, everyone,

I tried a half measure by putting a pair of KEF KC62s atop a pair of unused Velodyne HGS-10s. I didn’t care for the effect. Maybe because the KEF app that so carefully integrates the KC62s with the lS50 Wireless IIs has no provision for height.

I have tried this with one and two subs to reduce a vertical room mode. It partially worked, but as usual other frequencies that I worked hard at to get just so were compromised.

Well something better might just be pair of speakers that make you forget about the bass.
