M5, do you have any issues with upfiring. I'm sure tempted to also upfire, but read alot and most think downfire is the was to go. Just difficult to get much over 2-3" room from baffle to floor. I think with upfire I could gain over an inch of depth. I am leaning towards XCON's but 7.25" mounting depth really cutting it close, esp to have 2" past surround to floor. Still trying to get a measurement from baffle to surround. Looks to be like .5-.75" or so. Excursion Room, there, I said it again, for those who enjoy the title! haha Thanks for input
