running 2 of the same amps into 1 pair of speakers [ first watt J2's]


has anyone tried / using something like this set up -

left output of one amp into left speaker [ leave right output alone] 

another amp doing the same with the right channel  to right speaker .

I have a friend that is using this set up - likes it feels it eliminates crosstalk  & adds some power  .

not sure about the power ?  what are pros /cons to doing this    if any ?

To the OP......If your speakers are bi-wirable / bi-amp able ( have 4 connectors on the back, 2 for bottom end and 2 for mid/top end ), 2 identical amps, as the pair of Js, would be best off to passively, vertically bi-amp. One amp per speaker. One channel for bottom end and the other channel for top end. This would not work out if the 2 amps were different. Horizontal bi-amping, one amp for bottom end, one amp for mid/top end, might work. But this is tricky with differences of impedance and gain between both amps. Lots of reading material available on the web about these subjects. My best, MrD.
