OK, but you need to understand that you will pay the “minimum proximity” penalty for this. According to the Macondo's Axioms you will need to position channels vertically.  And if so then you will have 3 relatively high frequency firing channels that would take ~3 foot of height. If you do not care about near-field then it is fine but if you do then be advise that the idea of mid-hi and mid-low channels might set the minimum  distance where the drivers are integrated for 1-2 feet back.

Integration between all channels is one of the main things I'm trying to achieve. 
I keep thinking of the Oswalds Mills installation @ RMAF. 
It sounded like three very nice drivers, not one coherent speaker system. 
I want everything to have the same "voice."

How were the Macondo's Axioms arrived at?
By listening? 
I am wondering why/what happens if channels are not positioned vertically. 
What does it do to the Sound? 

You spoke above about the "minimum proximity" penalty. 
Does this affect only how far back the minimum distance for driver integration? 
Or other things as well? 

What other things have you experienced to effect integration of all channels? 
Thanks again,
Robert
