Describe the sound of point source loudspeakers?

I have not heard any but I’m going to audition some in the near future. Can you provide any pointers or things I should be listening for? My current loudspeakers are von Schweikert db99se and they are definitely not point source. Thanks for your input.

Another audiophile version (of many such tales on this forum) and as current as the original: "The Emperor’s New Clothes"

Point source speakers create a small image even if they are huge speakers. It is like sitting at the back of the concert hall.

Dimensionless or infinitely small objects cannot possibly produce sound. [Emphasis added]
