Line Array Speaker vs Point Source Speaker


.
Is there any inherent advantage to either of these speaker designs?

If I am well informed the line source has less problems with two boundarys: ceiling and floor. BTW I wish I owned
Alberts Megaline. The ordinary kind will also do.
The so called 'point source' is an attempt to construct a
microphon in the 'reverse': as a sound source. The only one
that works or that I know of is the Manger midd/high speaker. The Kef and the TAD are actualy a compromise.
There are also those German Ascendo speakers by wich you
need to measure the distance between the tweeter and your
own ears and move the tweeter to the right distance like
a geometre. The version M (?) is realy very impressive but
also very ugly to see. This however is taste dependent.
