Fiesta, it is not theory. It is solid acoustic management. Yes, I have done it. I have two pair of Mirage speaker in my workshop. I got them in 1987 as stop gap speakers while I was waiting for my Apogee Divas to be made. I tried stacking them one on top of the other with the top speakers upside down trying to get the tweeters as close together as possible. It went plenty loud. Low bass was missing and the imaging was vague. To get more midrange power a D'Appolito array is the best way to go if you have a strong enough tweeter. You could do a linear array of tweeters stacking small tweeters in a vertical line ala Pipe Dreams otherwise a single tweeter is always best which is why so many very expensive speakers do just that like Magico, Wilson and YG. This is my chief argument with Tekton speakers. Tweeter arrays like they use may get cheap tweeters to go loud but imaging goes right down the tubes. They might pay $2.50 for each one vs $300 to $400 for real tweeters. Real speaker designers are laughing their a---- off. You have already seen multiple Tekton buyers relating that they are very unhappy with the purchase.
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.
