Has anyone played with using an XY pair matrixed as the S
in an MS pair to tackle the directivity issue ?
In other words a "bent 8" for the side ?

Your "bent 8" would still contain mostly Mid information. The purpose of
the side is to get the sides. Even at 180 spread, the best you can get
from a pair of cardioids is an omni mix. You need something with more
directivity, like a figure-8.

Even with one capsule inverted ? I'd would have expected
to have a null on both the front and rear halves, just a much
narrower one at front.

I've already got a Y harness wired up with one connector
inverted. Looks like I need to prove myself wrong again.
