Here is what MAG wrote in 1992 (ref at end): "This [Energy] theory is apt mainly at frequencies between about 700 Hz and 5 kHz for central listeners, but it can be shown that if the sound arrivals from the n loudspeakers are phase incoherent with one another (as might be the case with very non-central listening positions), then the velocity vector theory gives the same predictions as the energy vector theory, so that for such listeners the energy vector theory is useful even at frequencies well below 700 Hz." This reads to me that for off-centre listeners, Energy decoding is more useful than Velocity decoding.
