Marlboro,My change of mind is based on measurements that I have taken and observed on several woofer lines.  What happens is that for most of these cases the on axis amplitude starts to decline before a frequency equal to a wavelength center to center spacing.  Despite using wideband woofers, when you place them in an array they just don't have the upper frequency capability that a single driver has.  Now you may be able to live with the ampliitude roll off of the array, in many cases as you can cross to the tweeters in a little earlier.  But I would emphasize that one should measure their woofer line and decide if the amplitude roll off near crossover is satisfactory for their goals.  I'm finding that crossing over below  a wavelength c-t-c spacing works better for me.  A target of half wavelength is what I'm suggesting but I really hope that one measures to discern their situation vs. just using a rule of thumb guideline.
