I wonder if he's tried wearing them like headphones as Soundproof does

Wouldn't work - too great a distance between the different drivers, relative to the little ear. Which is what really makes the BL3 the performer for this kind of weirdness - the drivers are so close together that you get a perfect sound "spray" straight at you.

Next week I'm getting one of these, to be placed right smack in the middle of these speakers.

Found a Wegner daybed in perfect condition, with brown cloth cover. 

The problem with having loads of drivers all at a relatively large distance from each other, is you end up with ridiculous directionality, as each cone will cause comb filtering over every other cone. Single drivers for each frequency make much more sense, ala BeoLab 5.

Here's a large room that I think would be much better served by BL5s or Muons than by the monstrosity placed in them - the world's most expensive speakers:

And what time are Status Quo on???

Why people listen on setups that complicated is a mystery to me, especially when I know what goes on behind the scenes in the studios!

Only if they chuck in free sellotape to rest over the tweeters.
