Subwoofer Decisions

[mastermamo]

I was just wondering whether a front firing or down firing sub makes for a better listen. In my experience a down firing sub seems to be a little "richer and warmer" sounding. Maybe due to the sound waves traveling along the floor surface? A front firing seems a little more "in your face"... Anyone has any thoughts on this?
