I can't speak for the passive LFRs but my actives are not only dispersive, they are also imaging monsters, totally transparent and acoustically invisible.

You can sit far and listen to the band "up there". You can sit close and be up in the front rows. Or you can sit closer and join the band.

I am betting my left 'nad the passive LFRs you heard at Axiom suffered from position error or were connected wrong or both.

As for the OM-5, Andrew did the best he could but he didn't have the benefit of a DSP. Even if he had a DSP at that time, he likely would not have been given the resources to leverage it. I'd bet my right 'nad the images from them are fuzzy relative to the LFR.
