How to Hook Up 4 Dq-10 speakers

I recently acquired a 2nd set of DQ-10s to add into my system of 2 DQ-10s, 2 DQ-1Ws, DQ-LP1, 2 Tandberg Amps plenty of power), 1 Tandberg Controller. I've heard of some who use only 2 amps to do this. I don't know how to hook up my additional 2 DQ10s using only the 2 amps and the electronic crossover; can anyone guide me in this? I see in the crossover manual that it is made to hook up 4 subwoofers with it, but states therein that you need 2 amps just for the subwoofers. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I too am interested in stacked configurations.

This doesn't seem to get much discussion, but advocates suggest there are huge benefits to be gained from "stacking" certain speakers.

Historically, Quads, KLH 9s, and Spendors have been used this way, so maybe DQ10's would work too?

Glam good luck and hope other people reply.

Summitav,

Interesting, but how did it sound to you?

Re If you mean "stacked"; They sounded fantastic!!

I am sure they would sound fantastic today, too.

So can anyone explain why no one tries to stack speakers today?

Oh yes, I remember Advents too, so I would love to hear more about this - it seems many people (including Mark Levinson) also got "lucky" with Quads.

I had a friend and audio mentor circa 1979 who was very lucky with KLH9s.

If speakers were stacled vertically, wouldn't all the drivers, on a relative basis, be similarly oriented to the listener?
