I think it is a complex mix of reinforcement and cancellation from reflections. Not only from the wall behind and beside the speakers but also from the area around the listening posistion.

Definitely. A room mode calculator will predict what happens pretty well for a rectangular room if you remember that with dipoles, a node is an antinode and vice-versa, and that dipoles excite fewer modes than omnis because of the dipole null, which I think is one of the main pluses for planar bass.
Josh, I'll gladly display my ignorance in exchange for you explaining your statement "with dipoles, a node is an antinode
and visa versa". If you share your knowledge with me (and others), assume I know nothing, which ain't far from the truth! I understand that bass frequencies collect in a room at locations (nodes/modes. Are they one and the same? Also called standing waves, right? More things I don't know!) and frequencies determined by the rooms dimensions. What is an antimode, and why the reversal with dipoles? Thanks---Eric.
