 Aleister Crowley and the Legend of Pasiphae
The idea that “either the father of the child should be a symbol of the sun, or the mother a symbol of the moon” is also supported by the Legend of Pasiphae.
The Minotaur’s actual Greek name was Asterius, meaning “of the Sun,” and Pasiphae, “she who shines for all,” was originally a Cretan Moon goddess.
Her child is the Minotaur Asterius, who is “of the sun.” The labyrinth she speaks of is the sky, which is divided into the 72 quinances of the zodiac through which the Sun passes in a year.

In my (limited) experience, an active line stage gives more body or substance to the sound and often makes the soundstage bigger, particularly in the depth dimension where sounds at the back of the soundstage are better defined and more realistic.
The prototype Pasiphae I had in my system was certainly more realistic than any line stage I have auditioned in every way.
The interaction of the Pasiphae with a system is all about impedance matching, and as such, cannot be predicted with certainty for every system out there.
