Are you thinking of the arrangement that one of the audiophile record companies use? Near coincident fig 8's plus an omni pointing in.
No. I am writing an article about an un-orthodox stereo recording setup, "common acoustical point". Two cardioids with a reasonably long spacing, pointing towards a single source, so that the on axis directions cross. The setup works and has some advantages compared to mono miking and it works well with single instruments and in a reasonably anechoic recording space. But as you see, it isn't a stereo recording setup as such. It's more like a twin mono miking setup. You need to be careful not to create comb filtering. The setup reminded me of a discussion of a similar type surround recording setup. Four or several mics on a circle around the source would capture a LOT more time and phase differences between the channels than a stereo setup.
