But doesn't putting the drivers on an inward-firing arc more or less shoot all the sound into a point, like the opposite of the Big Bang?

This seems like an invitation to phase problems in the real world, and it also seems like it could bugger up the room effects.

I don't know how others are doing it these days, but I depend a lot on the room, and in fact I think it would be better if I could get the room even more into play rather than less.

Is the idea really to make the giant speakers into giant headphones, or am I just over estimating the "Wedgie Effect" as it relates to the mysterious horns?

Best regards,
Paul S
