There's a lot more FAIL going on in that picture (and whole article) than just the angle.  Apparently the author says they put the wrong photos with the text:

lol.  All of those are wrong.  Who in their right mind would put that up on a site?

If the pics that accompany the above are correct, then I've been been setting up listing my configs all wrong. In X-Y those mics are more like 105/110 than 90 as well as the caps not being conincident and in ORTF there is no f'in way those caps are 17cm apart.

When fob, in the sweet spot, I think NOS is highly underrated.

As a follow-up to this post, I just bought one of BJ's KM140 bar sets - I'm familiar with when to use ORTF but am not very familiar with DIN vs DINa vs NOS, so some more clarification on when folks use which would be appreciated.  For instance, when you find yourself at the sbd of a theatre or a venue like the Fillmore in SF that is too far back on the floor for ORTF, which of these would you then use and how do you choose between them?

and I like XY when up front.

Agreed. I also use Hypers w/ NOS, and THAT is an underrated config right there. If I'm close enough DFC/FOB I runb NOS w/ my hypers w/ GREAT RESULTS IMO!
