While I think it has a lot of potential, I worry that the added complexity may lead to new problems that may outweigh the benefits derived, even if it is done very carefully, one of which is time alignment as pointed out.

Here I have a slightly different take.  The sound eminating from the NXT panel reproduces the 'dirty sound' from the concert hall and therefore aspects such as time alignment are not pertinent.  Think how randomly and variously the different direct and reflected sounds from the hall reach the listeners ears.

The problem with the approach in my view is that you will never achieve total realism because different instruments would require a different moving-coil/NXT balance.  Even so, I believe that some attempt at going with a compromise balance is better than none.  For me, the name of the game is the illusion of being there.
