If the sound appears to come from the speakers, then either you're too close or the WFS system doesn't work properly.
Not saying that what psychoacoustically happens is a perception of a planewave. Even if that's what WFS is trying to reproduce. But...
Presume you did have a perfect planewave coming from the row of speakers. Your ears would be confronted with a thoroughly unnatural soundscape: however you moved, the sound would always seem to come from the same direction. There would be no parallax at all.
Your eyes are used to that sort of thing, but your ears aren't. So how does your brain reconsile the sensation? Perhaps so that if you see a speaker sort of in the direction of the planewave, you seem to hear the sound coming from the nearest speaker you see?
