General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

A few comments.

The most interesting research on reproducing concert hall "aliveness" I've found comes from the Stig Carlsson website:

Also, there are many more examples of current dipole and bipole (omnipolar) designs:
- Quad
- Martin Logan
- Sound Lab
- Eminent Technology, and
- Mirage, just off the top of my head, but perhaps you didn't intend your list to be exclusive.

You put great faith in The Audio Critic. Are you aware of their favorable review of a model by a speaker company owned (at least in part, I don't have details but there has been much discussion on this) by the editor/publisher but without disclosure of this fact? Speaking for myself, I could not trust any of their opinions after that.

Bottom line for me? I would agree that the openness and spaciousness of dipoles and bipoles can be enjoyable. But, as Clark suggests, there are many other factors relating to real music, including dynamics. So, just as with so many of these factors in audio (analog/digital, tube/ss, etc.), if one approach or technology truly offered a window on the live music event, wouldn't it have pushed aside all competing design options?
