The L1 Model II has speakers mounted on alternating planes so if all the drivers have to be pointing in the same direction in order to be considered a true line array, then the Model II could not be considered one either. The Compact is a short array that exhibits a lower volume drop off with distance than a conventional speaker arrangement (though, obviously, not as gradual as the Model I or Model II). Because of that, I think it qualifies as a line array.
