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).

There is no such thing as a <<high fidelity subwoofer>>>



You are correct it is "High fidelity subwoofer" there are no <<<< or >>>>.

GR research servo bass system, is about as high fidelity as you can get.
Mozartfan? Nothing below 60 hz is considered part of music.
HIP HOP / rapp isn't real music. OK you say so...

"I like big butts and I cannot lie", remember that song? I do, it's music of the most delicious kind... Yea...

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.

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...
