  Hi Chuck

  True pistonic movement has to do with the cone and cone-break-up modes. This just means that the cone keeps its shape throughout the forward (and rearward) sound propagation.

  Point source has to do with the point where the sound originates. Single-cone (or full-range if you want) drivers are the best example of this. All the sound originates from a single point (hence point source).

  So in the first case it has to do with the mechanics of the cone, and in the second it has to do with sound-source. A point-source driver or speaker can have drivers with 'true pistonic movement' too :-) I'm sure there are others who can explain this much better than I can, so I will leave it to them from here.

  Enjoy
  Deon
