Does Stacking Wireless Speakers Sound Feasible?

Wondering if you could stack wireless speakers, such as the KEF LS50 Wireless into an array? You could start off with two or three and add as needed. I think a vertical array of six or eight would sound pretty awesome (each channel, of course). My concern is any latency issues between the separate speakers. Would the wireless signal arrive and each speaker react at exactly the same time? What do you think?

That would take about $3400.00 to test. Me personally,I'd just spend that money on a pair of floorstanders. I guess I'm not very adventurous.

KEF has a new wireless speaker, the LSX, that retails for $1099/pr. Street price probably lower. Saves $1400 from your test. Also, these are powered speakers, have a DAC, and support streaming services. Not to mention the space savings and aesthetic considerations. I think this is a good idea all-around as long as everything works in sync.

After homework, looks like the "wireless" speakers must connect to each other via cat-6. Also, LS50 wireless are $4400/pr. Kinda takes the fun out of my thought experiment.
