....always seemed to miss out on having a space that even vaguely sported dimensions that would be 'kind' to an audio field....
'Applied surround' Walsh speakers of my diy efforts have beckoned as a response (pun not intended, but there it is....), as one is 'IN' the sound field as opposed to 'looking/hearing into it'.....
Think 'acoustic hot tub'... I play about with front v. back pairs, tiny delays between... Walsh, in and of themselves, don't seem to 'play louder' since they're 360 v. 180 or typically less in dispersion patterns. If one wants 'loud', add more drivers in quantity and matched qualities....
MHObservations..... Since you've no means to duplicate this, you or any would have to darken my stoop and demand a seat with a view and brew....
...and so far, y'all have avoided this like the Covid.....for which I've had all my shots, and ones' that aren't on the Rx....;)
Fosi stuff....I get their emails, with some intrigue involved..... all mine in mind, but so what's new 'bout that....*s*

Once upon a evening dearie.....
When the original Tripath chips were intro'd, there was a mfr. that debuted a series of early D amps...both 2 chan and mono's....that could be mounted into a separate chassis (there were 2 sizes of which, I think....'out of memory' in that detail...).
Missed out on that; but since, D has grown into a mini-Godzilla that has begun trampling on 'phile tropes since....and will continue unless extreme measures and measurements of 'beauty kill the beast..."
....following sea of loud 'n proud...
....from a pointed head rendered blunt..... ;)
That concept of an 'amp farm' has occupied me since, and into the use and application of distribution amps.
Decent enough specs for all but the esoteric 1%.....
6 discrete 2chan amps, each either buss or individual. Each can be mono'd, or can drive 4 separate speakers....minding the ohms, Holms....:)
Each has L&R level and delay control for the 2nd tier of speakers....
Fronted by both room and signal eq options than absolutely needed, but came with and applied judiciously....
