I had two pair of Magnepan MG-1s back in the late 70's. This was before I understood about imaging. The two pair could play a bit louder with a bit more bass energy, but otherwise I think a single pair sounded better.
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.
