Yeah that's a pretty neat thing about those speakers - I experienced that at CES but the room was so busy I decided to come back later - and ran out of time. Seemed that if they're set up right they can follow you around.
A head in the vice perspective they sure ain't. At CAS the staging was fine if you sat off to a side so that effect was still good - it was better in just one or two seats for other aspects of sound like timbre tone on instruments. The fellow running the room with his wife noted also that in one seat back the room was mucking up the presentation and dulled things to a thick slightly muddy behaviour - he was quite right. I am not a big soundstage and imaging fanatic - I have never listened to a live event and said - wow check out the imaging of the instruments or wow look at the stage spread. What I do notice is instruments not in tube, or being played badly. Timbre, tone, timing, transients (attack) decay, etc. Since I was not at the recordings I have no idea where instruments were - nor do I find that those things particularly matter so long as they sound right and are separated from each other if the recording has them separated.
Omnis have a pretty interesting sound - what impressed me was that they also did things better than direct radiators which I wasn't expecting. I was expecting an all over the place sound - not much oomph in a hard hitting rock sense.
