Check over on the Array forum. My understanding is that they approximate a point source even though there are several drivers. I think maybe describing it as a planar source is more accurate - Something that acts like one large vibrating plane as opposed to several smaller ones. So but you would expect that would give advantages of increased output, sensitivity and reduced excursion and distortion over a single driver.

Jim Griffin has done a lot of work on arrays and he is more fond of line sources made using a vertical line of drivers. You might kick these ideas around with him, as I know he's investigated many types of arrays and will undoubtedly offer a world of insight. You'll find he checks the Array forum from time to time so you might post a query about Bessel arrays over there.
