What do you do to prevent the notch from floor bounce? If a single driver is used, do you place it low to the ground to prevent floor bounce or place it high on the baffle near ear level and just live with a notch in response from floor bounce?

As you suggest, there isn't much that you can do about floor bounce with a single driver speaker. You could put the driver at the floor, but then the sound stage will be on the floor and that is really annoying. The drivers on my speakers work out to be ~32" off of the floor. The sound stage is a little low, but livable. I find that the best sound stage is with the driver ~45" off of the floor. One thing you might try is to put a coffee table or large hassock between you and the speakers. That will block a large part of the floor bounce and the bounce off of the table will be at a higher frequency. Maybe a good thing, maybe not. Bob

Just for grins, here is the FR response of my FT-1600 MLTL. This was an ungated measurement taken out of doors over concrete.
