Hey Waz,
Something about that illustration bothers me. It assumes absolutely pistonic motion ((actually, thinking more about the movement of the disturbed air molecules) and only accounts for the very center of the speaker) - which ain't reality (is it?). I'm just suggesting that the actual picture isn't that neat. Isn't one of the marvels of the ribbon tweeter the fact that its width renders it essentially omnidirectional? Didn't Al have his 20.1s in a version of that arrangement?
WTF. Just turn the speakers till the inside edge is aimed at you. Should be easy to do. See what happens. It is a 5 minute experiement. If it works it will be worth it. If not then you can say you are right. Al had a sideways setup. I dont think he tried the "rooze".
Still working on the project. Actually I got a new job and it requires a home office so there is now a reason to finish things. We'll see what happens.
You are indeed a know it all waz so you will figure it out :)
