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 run two pairs of 3 way sealed enclosure speakers from the late 80's.  The brand name is "Kirksaeter".  The sensitivity is rated at 93db .   The two pairs are stacked on top of each other.  I use an old speaker stand that angles the speakers up at a slight angle.  The two pairs are running two PS Audio Sprout100s.  I bought both pairs used.  When I listen to FM radio, which isn't high fidelity, I listen to both speakers.  I keep the volume low, but yet both pairs fills the downstairs of my home with comfortable level of music.   This is not critical audiophile listening but rather back ground music for everyone to enjoy.   In conclusion you need to decide what you want.  A greater dispersion of back ground music for everyone in the house or critical listening for a few staying with in the sweet spot.
