Chained speakers signal connected in series


I have two pairs of the same model speakers (Tannoy SGM 10B) connected in series to two monoblock amplifiers. The left channel amp drives two speaker cabinets on a left (speakers L1 and L2) and the right channel amp drives two speaker cabinets on a right (speakers R1 and R2).
The positive speaker output of the left amp is connected to a positive post of the first speaker L1(+). Then the negative post of the same first speaker L1(-) is connected to positive post of the second speaker L2(+) with the its negative post L2(-) connected to the amplifier's negative speaker output.

AMP(+) > L1(+)
L1(-) > L2(+)
L2(-) > AMP(-)

Both left channel speakers have a cross-overs build in. Does the audio signal that the first speaker L1 receives from amplifier is any different from a signal the second speaker L2 receives from speaker L1? Does the crossover of the first speaker L1 modify the output signal that goes to a second speaker L2?

 While you're listening through your pencils: you're going to simply ignore everything that a voice will induce to a signal, when actually presented with music?

                                        HILARIOUS (in a tragicomedic way)!

     Best broaden your horizons, as to what goes on (and can be measured/calculated) when certain elements (ie: caps and voice coils) are actually under the influence of *changing frequencies (ie: an actual audio signal) as opposed to DC (ie: a multimeter).

     *Ever looked at the impedance plot of a woofer, actually being used in a circuit?

       (https://audiojudgement.com/speaker-impedance-curve-explained/)    

           (https://www.apogeeweb.net/tools/reactance-calculator.html)

       Perhaps: even plug some of those facts, into your calculations?

                       NAH, why bother with Physics, right? 🙄

          ps: I only bother posting such things, knowing they will be ignored by most, BUT: hoping someone out there remains interested in facts/learning.

                                             Happy LISTENING!
@fiesta-    I had posted, regarding how humorous that was, then thought about my own failings at being perfect (ALL the time) and deleted that line.
(part of my typical typing/posting/editing method in here, as outlined elsewhere)

      I'd also noticed, "symbolised", in the same sentence, which, for all I know, may indicate: he's from Britain (or something, maybe), which still wouldn't account for a Geek omega.

       Far as, "skeptical": I've known everything in that portion of the article, for decades and am confident of it's accuracy.  😉

        btw: When I said, "...might just sound a little different...": I was being facetious.

         I can't imagine that sounding worth a crap, for the reasons mentioned (especially: back EMF, feeding the next system)!   But then: I've never connected Tannoys in series, so: what do I know?

                                         Happy listening!


      Regarding those voice coils, impedances and such:    http://education.lenardaudio.com/en/05_speakers_3.html

      The chart shown: for an 8 Ohm (nominal) speaker

                 Note the lower freq impedance dip.        
       btw, for clarity: What I listed above is all found in ONE, SGM 10B crossover network and the system’s two drivers.
     Personally: I don’t find the idea that an audio signal, after passing through a system* when fed into a subsequent and identical system, in series, might just sound a little different, the LEAST bit surprising.

     They’re rated at 6 Ohms, so: can only be run in parallel (a 3 Ohm load, but varies, fed a music signal), with an amp that can handle a 2 Ohm load, with stability (check your amp’s specs).

     *Referring, specifically, to the TANNOY SGM 10B Super Gold Monitor Speaker; comprised of two open-air-core inductors, two iron-core inductors, a bunch of wire wound resistors, a couple voice-coils (resistance, inductance and back EMF) and an electrolytic.
