The tweeter is somewhat directional, so as you walk closer to the speaker the relative level decreases by a greater amount than it would if your ear remained at the tweeter level. So for party listening the point source tweeter will remain in reasonably good balance and shouldn't be a problem.

For serious listening from ten feet you will want to be sitting - the sound blance changes as you stand, probably because of the power tapering toward the ends of the array, and the overall effect is a slight loss of soundstage focus. It doesn't sound bad when you are standing ten feet away; it just doesn't sound as good as when you're sitting.
