I perfer bottoms to rears;)
Follow Ups:
I presume your speakers with down-firing ports are floorstanders - is this correct?
Have you found the floor surface (carpeted vs uncarpeted) to make a difference?
What general guidelines do you follow in choosing how high to elevate the bottom of the enclosure above the floor?
If any of this is proprietary, of course I understand.
I'll be experimenting with a down-firing port in the next few days, as that's the only way I could shoehorn the port size I want into this particular enclosure.

I do perfer bottom ports on floorstander You can use larger longer ports distance from floor is a known factor so you can tune for this, bottom loads room best.Has less problems with placement over rear or front.Carpet or hardwood doesnt make so much diferance but for some customers I supply damping pads to place under if floors too live.Distance from floor differs for ea. loudspeaker design I have to test then ajust by ear.Cones blocks all work to lift loudspeakers.Some - are cost for such designs always seems to cost more with a bottom port.Some owners dont get it and remove cones setting port on floor:)

While I dont know retail on the arcs.I would think KCS offers a far better deal for cost outlayed.We have bottom ported floorstanders starting at $2500 pair these have a AMT style driver with 12in fostex woofers.
