I like the idea of angling the enclosure, although I am not sure about the idea of the lowest drivers firing at the floor...I would use a series of modules each containing two tightly fit drivers which would fire parallel to the floor, and achieve a very similar approximate time alignment by positioning.

You can find above a link to a company that offers(maybe offered I don't know) such modules and you can also see that here they have also gone for minimum spacing between the drivers.
 What they do is fine but I would not kill myself too much in hoses fights for a fraction of inch in the front baffle. First off all mounding the drivers with no space you do compromise the structural integrity of front baffle but I guess that might be conceded during the design stage and the front baffle might be made from aluminum or something like this. The most important is that it not truly significant from line-array perspective. The line-array doctrine are applicable if the array less than the wavelength. If I cross my woofer at 20Hz then you understand that all my conversations about array is only conversations.
