The advice generally given with loudspeakers is not to position them too close to room boundaries, so as not to give a boomy response.
But with transmission line (TL) speakers, the port is very often positioned low down in the cabinet, and therefore close to the floor.
Would it therefore be better to arrange the internal line folding such that the port emerged close to the drive unit, near the top of the cabinet ? After all, at the low frequencies, the port is responsible for half of the sound pressure.

Hi There
The longer answer is "varies". The extra lift from the floor gives you the possibility to design much lower tuned tl's without a boomy bass.
Something like this:
Half tl
This mini tl speaker is purposly built with floor and wall bass lift in mind. If used in small rooms it give's an even and very low bass. I designed it with the German program Aj-Horn.
