Lobing =/= Combing? How it physically happens, what's the difference in concretic terms?
Yes of course, for the pictured tetrahedral speakers, the benefit of the shape would be one less corner for the baffle compared to rectangular, wouldn't this mean less equal distances from a centered driver and thus less pronounced baffle gain for the frequencies whose wavelengths correspond to those equal lengths?
And no cabinet reflections frontwards from the "side walls" as they're really back walls.
Combing czauses the lobing. Either between 2 or more drivers in an array or a tweeer to woofer.
If the centre-to-centre of the soiurces is a quarterwave or less there is no combing. One of th ereasons i like WAWs.

I've seen similar speakers online, but never had a chance to listen to one.
Think anyone who could afford some took measurements in-room of the Burmester bending wave omnipolar speakers?
