Hybrid stats usually come with a sealed or ported woofer - are we comparing apples and oranges? The bass augmentation units shown in the Absolute sounds video are open front and back - they are dipoles.
For them, the only possible effect on radiation regarding which way the driver is mounted is that there is a basket behind the cone and none in front. But those dimensions are very small compared to bass wavelengths so if there is any asymmetry in radiation it must surely be tiny?
