I've got them running. I went with a straight baffle in the end. It seems to have a more consistent sound when moving through the listening area. The addition of the tweeters is the most significant. Where there was an annoying confusion in metal rock and complex orchestral pieces is now a pleasant accuracy. My only concern is if I'm actually getting down to the subs. Most likely not. I've got to put line arrays on hold for a while though. Been looking at houses and it would be tough to have both. I think I'll be happy with these for a little while. Although, my dreams of the big arrays will always be there.
The comb filtering will not be a factor as long as all the speakers are the same distance from the listeners ear. This is tough to do. The nulls happen when 2 sources are 1/2 wavelength different in distance from the ear. The waves sum to zero. But since you have built the array you can be the judge. The sweet spot sounds like having headphones on to me. I have had both focused and straight arrays.
