I seem to remember you had this sort of issue when setting up your previous room and eventually you moved them time aligned.

The one stack of 15" and 10" sounds like a nice solution.  Do you think more 10" scanspeak instead of the 15" vitavox for the midbass would also be a good solution?  Might be worth trying if you have a few more drivers about somewhere.
  
Well, this is complex and I do not have a definitive answer.  My presumption that my ULF does not work because of time aliment is just a guess. You see, I having now a compromised midbass and therefore I is normal that I do not have properly integrated ULD. The ULD shall go along with midbass and since my midbass is very transitional I have nothing certain. The complexity that I mentioned above come from subjective (or objective if you know how) evaluation of ULF time alignment. The ULD might sound like shit or not to be properly ingrate because if so many reasons, hot to nail down and to isolate the time alignment problems? The only know to me way is to do how we do with tweeters: make the playback to sound perfect with MF and THEN to think about tweeter. The same here: I need the playback to sound perfect down to 40-50Hz and THEN to think about ULF. Here is the question is you want to play games: If your Mildness ae not time aligned then do you alight your ULF to midbass or to MF? If you ask me to answer this question then I would say the I do not know….
 
The stack 15" and 10" in the same line array (with obvious different sections) sounds like a nice solution, I still contemplating it as on option.
 
The third of your question about more 10" scanspeak instead of the 15" vitavox for the midbass is the easy one. First of all you need to understand that my “scanspeaks” are not the best drivers for 125Hz. If you have very small, very lucky room, very lucky (active) positioning of your ULF and a lot of drivers (>8 per channel) then you might try do not use a dedicated Midbass. I had this configuration when I lived in Boston. It might be hard however to drive the drivers with Fs20Hz all the way to let say 100hz and to expect o have more or less flat response. In your case I would not think at this point about midbass, Make a provision for the LF output transformer to be able to drive anything and in case if your playback will not be able to handle ULF then you switch your LF channel to a dedicate midbass and go ULD outside the Milq. Again, it is all depend of your room. My very approximate estimate that under 350 feet you still might not need a dedicated midbass.
