adding second set of speakers


righto mates, feeling a bit saucy today. the mission if you choose to accept it..
...integrate a second set of speakers in my low-fi setup. i currently have AirPulse Model 1 powered monitors. My previous set of monitors are the mighty JBL LSR 305 Mkl.. now, how would I set up both sets of monitors at the same time? Set the JBL's upside down on top of the Model 1's? Tweeter to tweeter? or is there another setup worth exploring. I am running XLR cables so I have to make some Y cables to hook both sets of monitors...

Just curious, how do you like the Model One's?  I've had mine for almost two years now and feel they sound pretty darn good for the $ but haven't seen too many (If any) threads about these sleepers
Got mine for the intro price of $795.00 and really do like them.  I was fortunate enough to find a pair of Platinum Audio Ref 1's for sale locally (another Phil Jones creation) and can't believe how good these sound.  They're about twenty years old but these are in a different league altogether and the bass is even better and more extended if you can believe that but no plans on selling the Model ones and probably going to be listening to them over the weekend.  There's definitely something to be said about less cabling and component clutter as that's why I took a flyer on the Model one's to begin with.  Glad I did
Mine are in our family room which doubles as a dining room so my options are limited. The left  speaker is approx 2’ from the side wall and 3’ from the rear wall. There’s no side wall for the right speaker and it’s  3’ from the rear wall   The rear wall ends close to that speaker and opens into the kitchen. Speakers are 6-8’ apart. The room is 18’x20’ with a vaulted ceiling and needless to say no room treatments.  I really have to try limiting all the cabling that’s why I went the active route 
      I really love the Reference ones but until a I get a streamer I’ll be listening to the Model ones which i really have no issue with
