It seems that a sub right at the listener is minimum phase, which means you can equalize for flat response without bass traps -- and of course you'll get higher output from the sub and are less likely to disturb the neighbors. It's on my list of things to try, though I think I'd put my sub behind my chair rather than behind my head!
I'm also curious about the possibility of putting my midbass panels near my chair for the same reason. I'm not really sure where I'd put them, though, they have to be against a wall and there's a big opening in mine.

At midbass frequencies, won't localization become an issue?
Definitely, which is why you need two of them -- the issue is with lateral localization, not depth. As an experiment, I currently have my Tympani bass panels in front of the mid-tweeter panels and they work quite well there:
Damn Josh, that seems like a great idea! As long as the distance between them is the same, it matters not whether the bass panels are in front of or behind the M/T's. The M/T's can then be positioned for best imaging. Love it!
It works really well, too -- with only the 18" panel to block the reflected backwave the imaging is the best I've ever had it. It isn't all that practical in my room, though. I think my next experiment will be to separate the mid and low bass panels, then put the midbass panels on the wall to either side of the M-T panels and the put the low bass panels side-by-side near me. That would make for a more practical room arrangement.
