The main difference between a typical PA box and a wedge is a heavy bass roll off and a wedge cut and that’s it. If you look around hard enough, like in the Community CPL27s I own, you can find horn loaded silk dome tweeters in PA designs (and yes, they do sound markedly warmer).
Farther along the explaining route: the intended ‘focus’ of a given speakers design is made by the mounting of the drivers on the front baffle, with the ‘image’ coherent at a distance that the designer chooses. Time alignment is also part of that but, for most of what people consider ‘near field vs mid or far field’, it’s just the drivers tilted a touch differently.

So if one chose a driver that is alingned For say 35 feet and
uses it as a monitor for acoustic guitar ..and places it 10 feet from
his ear on the floor tilted in front of him. Would he not hear it as clearly/cleanly
as if it was 35 feet away?
