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).

Here's what Rel says on the topic:

BTW, I couldn't be happier with my Omega DeepHemp 8. Tone, impact, fast, and easy to place. Never asked Louis about his down-firing choice only sealed vs. ported. I'm sure he'd be happy to answer your question and I'd be happy to hear it :-).
