I just noticed the post on the "facing down drivers". Would this really be such a problem? I think there are plenty of speakers out there that use facing-down drivers that were not "specifically designed" to face down. While I have heard about this, and I have watched out for "cone sagging", I have never actually had a problem with it myself - in over 50 years. Perhaps there is "truth to it", like the "alcohol ruins vinyl" story? 

It is not accurate. The cone sagging is not a fantasy. Small cones with rubber suspension do not sag. Large and heavy cones with paper suspension that have 50 degree  temperature difference and 50% moisture difference between front and back would sag very dramatically. Perhaps it might be a good idea to drive the woofers with minor negative output impedance  when they do not play music to balance out the gravity things....
