Maybe it's a band mix and his front wedges are vocal-only?


Would love to hear about the actual reason/setup!

 

 

That's almost certainly what it is, and it's a personal preference thing. It probably feels more natural for him to have the sound sources coming from different locations, just like what happens in a rehearsal room or a band setup that doesn't have PA reinforcement. The two wedges in front could mean he's using a super-cardioid vocal mic, or it could be that he wants them to mirror his stereo guitar amps. It really just comes down to the guy on stage.

 

An aside... separate speakers for different sound sources does have a real and noticeable increase on sound quality (generally speaking). My personal experience is limited to LCR rigs - vocals in C, band in LR, but you may want to do some reading about Dave Rat's (and now U2's) double-hung PA's. Heres a link:
