I have two minimal-size (i.e., 15"x18"x72") THTLPs in my listening room. One is in the LF corner and the other is in the RR corner. They stand vertically and fire up towards the ceiling. Is having them fire upwards a good (or poor) orientation, or does it matter much?

It doesn't matter.

Thanks!

Good looking cab, Dave!

Thanks.

I veneered the cabinets with paper-backed quarter-sawn Sapele veneer. I applied 2 coats of Rubio Monocoat ("Pure' colour) as the finish.

for the record
in my 10 x 10-ish man cave- it's too small for them to breathe well < 900 cu. ft.
they were rather fabulous about 9 years ago in the LR > 5K vol.
but now
the 2 x30' cabs are directly behind the seating
just enough room between my seat and the wall
pointed at the ceiling- eq'd as one sub > co-location on bash 300's

the 24" THTLP is now on a 18" high stand, front right corner loading, firing at the floor, once also firing at the ceiling (8') . bash 300
the difference was immediate
more front stage TR, very powerful
amp gains are not much above 50%
of course they are REW'd and EQ'd thru a minidsp2x4
but
that is being upgraded to a minidsp2x4HD so I can try implementing BEQ
it could be worth the effort
testing my 30" cabs with my dynaco A25's
