Has Anyone Ever Run TWO Identical Pairs of Speakers ?

I’m considering buying an extra pair of tower speakers identical to the ones I currently own. I would wire them as 4 ohm speakers powered by about 250wpc,

Each set of two speakers would be placed next to each other so there would be 2 identical left channel speakers and 2 identical right channel speakers, with each pair separated by about 1/2.” 
My listening chair chair can be as close as 8’ from the “center” of the speakers to as far back as 20’ from the “center” of the speakers.

And the actual distance between these two seperate pairs of speakers could range from 6’ from each pair to as much as 18’ for each pair. I would of course spend a great deal of time ‘dialing” them in for the best sound.

Has anyone ever tried this, and what were your results?

I’d appreciate your collective informed thoughts.

I did this for about a dozen years using Paradigm and Polk speakers.  The end result was very nice SQ. The upper mids and highs of the older Polk 5jr speakers added to the lower mids/bass of the Paradigms 7se speakers.
Later tried various speakers to see if I could get the sound I want thru only one pair.  Bought Monitor Audio Silver, Paradigm SE1s...ended up playing them together as individually, each lacked a bit.

While it was an eye sore to look at multiple speakers, I enjoyed the sound.  Today I run 1 set of speakers made by Focal.  Also have a set of Triangles.  Each does well on their own.
