I wonder how it will translate to a line source too. A point source sounds like it's originating at the height of the speaker. A full-height line source sounds like it's originating at the height indicated by the floor bounce in the original recording. So the effect could be erratic. I'm guessing though that with horizontal line sources like yours, it will sound like it's coming from the height of the speaker, perhaps with some slight impairment to localization owing to the lateral smearing of pinna/head/body effects. Also, in my experience, MMG's behave like dipole point rather than full-length line sources when it comes to localization -- the sound seems to emanate from half way up the diaphragm, or a compromise between that and the first reflection point in the rear if the speakers are at an angle.

Of course, you never really know what's going to happen until you try it. :-)
