Has Anyone Ever Run TWO Identical Pairs of Speakers ?

@vynil_rules

I have a couple of subs for sale if you’re interested 😂

Yes I have run two pairs of  klipsch KLF 30  and Two  pairs of klipsch  CF4 together side by side 2 for left and to right but with separate amplifiers the same preamp 
first pair run on balance XLR to preamp Parasound P6 XLR output second pair run on RCA To P6 RCA output 
the goal here is make-sure  all speakers tweeters are on the same ear 👂 level believe me it doesn’t have to be the same speakers 
I have try klipsch chorus ii and KLF30 combo klipsch KLF 30 and CF4 combo and forte and chorus ii combo…… if you set them right you will never go back to single speaker again 
the benefit outweigh the lost 
any 2 channel preamp with balance XLR and RCA output can do that not on AVR though 😂😂😂

I have a pair of Martin Logan’s ESL X’s and a pair of Vandersteen 2’s and running them with VTL mono blocks and I have to say when they are all on the dynamics are impressive and the bass response is awesome I haven’t played with placement for depth yet, it’s a work in progress and now I just repaired a pair of Thiels with repair work done by Rob at Coherent Sound (awesome service!) and look forward to listening to them as well just have space limitations.

@jasonbourne52  You are correct.  Stacked Advents were the bomb back in college.  Henry Kloss was a great guy as well.

Years later we found out that the speakers were pretty bad--there are MANY that are much worse, they they are pretty bad.  You have to actually LISTEN to them with good hardware to figure it out, but like most box speakers, they are pretty bad ("bad" meaning "inaccurate reproduction" of the music).

Still, back then they were considered quite a breakthrough, and if you could afford the better walnut cabs, they even looked nice.

Regarding stacked, yes, there were many discussions back then of how tweeters should be aligned, etc., how far away, etc., etc.  

As for various comments on "tall" speakers, gee, wonder where they got that idea?  Was not from Jim WIney, I am sure.

Finally, regarding stacked Quads in the HQD system, we made some of the stands for quads for Levinson (VERY slow payer) and some of the 24" Hartley woofer cabs. We listened to them next to Maggies.  Even back then we could easily identify listening fatigue from the Quads, which are shrill and have a number of other issues regarding delay, etc., that you can easily hear.  The Decca ribbon tweeter in the middle of the stacked Quads was interesting.  Running them with Levinson gear back then (when it actually worked) made the sound so bad we had to turn them off. 

REALLY bad!

Side by side with the Magges...NO contest.

Cheers!

It'll be a bit like Tektons.

No it won't.

Just because Tektons have quite a few drivers in them, does not mean they are in any way similar to have multiple speakers stacked or side by side. 

Please watch the vids by the designer, Eric Anderson on YT on the theory behind the design. 

Bottom line, Tektons are not just a bunch of drivers stuffed into a box.

I'm not even a big Tekton fan, but lets not compare them to stacking speakers.
