I think the line sources are much better for this than point sources since they can cancel out top and bottom boundary effects and I know that they are the only way to preserve the height dimension in recordings. Presuming there is something left of the original cues after studio processing and mixing, as Tony Lauck pointed out.
Playing the Neo8 midrange array naked or just with a 1st order HP at 100-150 hz pretty much had no phase through the passband - 250 hz to 8 khz (nearly 10 khz when axis is aimed at the listening seat). I could hear what they are talking about in the article. I miss the magic of that setup but it has practical limits that bug me.
But it is fairly easy to set it up again. I think I will try it overnight if I can't sleep.
