Are the new Ohm Walsh speakers Audiophile quality?

Regarding the ohm design:

If you took any two channel speakers and pointed their drivers down toward the floor, would you not in effect fill the room with music without being able to point to the source, blind folded, so to speak?

You can understand from this review:

why OW never went back to them. Almost the entire review is spent on troubleshooting problems. I can also only assume that no JA measurements published means they were unfavorable and dropped. 

Much like Magnepan, these unorthodox speaker designs need a unorthodox way to measure quality. 

Since most of the bandwidth from OW relies on reflection from your walls, I wonder about how much sound quality is degraded. Stucco vs wallpaper vs crown molding... Curious, has any one compared direct to ear SQ vs SQ after one wall reflection?
