a) snare center to Mic 1 and snare center to Mic 2 being equal distance.

b) kick center to Mic 1 and kick center to Mic 2 being equal distance.

The 'equal distances' of a) and b) are NOT the same though, maybe that's the thing you misunderstood.
No, I realise that the equal (sum) distance of a) is not the same as b).

But something I've come to realise is that there are specific points in space where this will work and won't work. To illustrate: visualise two circles surrounding both kick and snare, with kick and snare being the centre of each circle. Depending on the size of each circle, there are only two specific points where the two circles meet - ie have equidistance to both kick and snare.

If anyone wants to PM their email address to me I can email you this diagram to show you what I mean.
