I don't think you should have much of a problem. Worst case would put 
a user at 8m (or less) from the furthest speaker which is only 23ms 
(or less) delay which I don't think will be audible. Plus, as you 
point out, the sound level from the further speaker will be very much 
lower than that from the nearer speakers.
