Bob,
I'll give you my opinion on that. Keep in mind others have gotten different results, namely Ryan. Look through his versarray thread in the reviews forum. That said, when I get my Versarray rig, I probably won't use fewer than six boxes per side. In my limited experience with the boxes, they really start to shine with that many. Can you use fewer?? Sure.

the problem with any LA is to get the benefit you need to create a line..the longer the line the better the effect and benefit..there are many point source boxes that would do your room much better than a LA...a nexo M8 to start also Danley has a couple products maybe even the yorkville unity..Renkus heinz would have many options...you can't only look at the cabinet's dispersion with a line source as the benefit in control,tone and coverage gets better as the length gets longer..I really believe that the best line source products are the more accurate (the 5 degree with lots of angles) remember manufacturers are here to sell and purist like nexo and lacoustics initially knew and thought that the point and shoot system was the standard tool and any one looking for a line source would and could understand that venue geometry and using enough cabs in the line was the proper way to deploy a line source..then came the 10 degree boxes and then 15..less accurate but still workable and better perceived coverage but still any properly designed line source is dependant on multiple cabs to get the control and lowmid output, in your case the throw you are looking for is well in the range of almost any point box talking mainly in what you are looking for ..rememer that one 75x35 or 50x50 or any single horn source would be better than 2-3 as far as interference...for affordability i would try the unity or talk with danley..i have been talking with renkus heinz about this exact issue and i believe very soon they will have a product that would be the answer for alot of you and the need you have..a one box LA w multiple drivers spaced correctly and that is powered with many dsp channels (like what sls and renkus currently has but with better output and sized more for this application..that will be the ticket as the deployment homework will have been done and the benefit will be there as well as the spl need...i'll check on the status for you....good luck randy

We did a DJ gig during the Kentucky Derby and we had Versa-subs with 3 tops, ground stacked, for the dance floor area, then we used speaker stands and placed 6 more tops around the room in singles. It worked very well but if you were close to the single boxes you would walk into and out of the sweet spot, if you were 10' from the box you really didn't notice, Overall it worked very well. But I think using less then three boxes you would be better off using a QW 2F or other conventional speaker.
