All wrong according to what? We need a point of reference.

Bose wanted to build a line array and they succeeded. Line array speakers use multiple drivers to increase acoustic efficiency and power handling ability. The physical span of the array produces a more life-like sound by adding height to a listening experience often missing with more conventional loudspeakers.

Here's a link to click on if you have the time:

A nice collection of some of the most expensive speakers available. Look down the list and count how many line array configs you see.

I know the original topic was PA speakers and I'm not trying to deviate. My point is...the line array speaker system is a bonafide solution used extensively by speaker manufacturers.

I don't get what those experts mean when they say, "It's all wrong."
