Room modes are in 3D.Having a small box focuses where the room modes are excited or not.
Having a longer boxes, crosses/averages room modes possibly evening out room loading. I attribute this to the delta between the Linkwitz W-Frame force cancellation and the H-Frame experiments.
Then there is boundary gain. According to the videos, Wendell tends to put the woofers on the side walls.
When I had a single triplet, it benefited from boundary gain from being against a side wall (but wasn't stereo because I only had 1).
I tried laying it on its side in the middle of the room instead of the sidewall. I got similar boundary gains from the floor, but the single triplet was centered.
Depending on your floor space, a long centered mono-sub may serve double duty with boundary gain and as an amp stand in addition to cluttering up the room. =)
I should have tried on the floor against the wall to get both floor and wall boundary gains.
