Always learn something from your posts; many thanks!
As far as "So you hear the sound from a point source speaker coming from the height of the speaker, and a shorter line source, too, e.g., the sound from the MMG's seems to be coming from too low! Which always annoyed me." goes, me too! That's why I took the Gunned MMGs, which are designed to sit on the floor in a tilted position, but them up on cinderblocks and shimmed them to be almost vertical (an inch tilt-back seems ideal in my room) so it acts closer to a floor to ceiling line source.
The only lower (in height) speaker I've heard tilted back which DIDN'T sound like the soundstage was in the floor are the JansZens. Their setup in the audition room at DC Capital Audiofest last year had issues, but that aspect of their sound was impressive.
