I honestly cannot respond to your question based on direct experience, of which I have none. However, the Ohm Walshes have been optimized to produce a virtual perfect power-amplitude response across the entire audio spectrum from 20 hz to 20 kHz across a hemispheric (180 degrees; semi-spherical) sound field directed into the interior (center) of the roomn, whilst eliminating colorations due to lobing, baffle step and phase-time shift. This results in a loudspeaker that while ostensibly high dispersion (though not more than a well-designed multi-driver minimum baffle design such as Vandersteen [excellent loudspeakers BTW] and B&W full scale models) has remarkable insensitivity to room placement. Yes, the room is important. But, I fully espect that the Walshs would work well in such a setup as you contemplate. The Walshs have an uncanny ability to sound good in sundry rooms of varying shape, size and damping, and superimpose an enveloping acoustic that semms to make the room boundaries disappear. The coherence of the Walsh line source obviates room colorations due to off-axis) reflected sound, as the off-axis response is so similar to the on-axis response. For example, Walsh loudspeakers sound just as good in the room as outside the room - ordinary loudspeakers fall apart outside of the sweet spot, let alone in the next room.
