In a way it is like saying that since most recordings are not done with a strict binaural method with two microphones unmixed, therefore the idea of stereo is meaningless, and stereo does not exist in live sound either. The sounds come from everywhere. Well, I think we all like stereo. And I think we all can clearly hear the low frequencies coming from down by our feet and the high frequencies coming from up by our ears in the standard multi-driver installation. There is absolutely meaningfulness to the idea of the point source (but this meaning may or may not have anything to do with connection with the Sound)!
I would like to hear the opinions from people who have heard good point source/single driver installations (ignoring the shortcomings). What does the point source add to the audio reproduction?
