Worked fine.
I think you need to listen more for the front to back musical balance in the
ensemble. On floor standing KEF Q50's the rear of the ensemble is too weak
and the bass-drum is "puny", in this small room it should be overwhelming.
Perhaps you need to elevate your mics somewhat more. Doing that also adds
more room.
Spatiality is poor and confused, just as it was when I made quite similar
experiments in 1982. The special case of moving all capsules to an emulated
point is a valid stereo zoom microphone. However what it is about is to get
something "less cardioid" and it sounds plain better to use high quality
subcardioids as in

I submit that Brucks sputnik can do more for you, also with only one rear
facing mic, but note: you have to get your mix in post right, it is required
to record on as many tracks as you use mics, you can not make such a mix as
a live location mix to 2-track.
