<<As theory predicts and the tests I've done have confirmed,
phase-related problems arising from stereo mics separated no more
than a couple of feet would be _above 500 Hz_ because wavelengths
under 500Hz wrap around the largest baffles we use and sum on both
channels.>>

Thus a good argument for near-coincident & against widely spaced mics.
The good news with wide spacing is that the phase of everything except
the very longest wavelengths is random & confused, rather than out of
phase. The bad news is that nothing is really in phase, & the imaging
is incoherent. But better random phase than out of phase.
