Hope I'm not hijacking here, but a related question on downward firing ports and woofers:
Does a downward firing woofer and port (i.e. all meaningful output below, say 100hz or 150hz) greatly reduce or eliminate the so called "Allison Effect" and make the speaker's in-room response much closer to its anechoic performance? It seems like any speaker (ported or not) using a woofer crossed low enough would benefit from a downward firing scheme. Is this right?
