Sometimes this can be something magical. In the late 70's I had done this with a pair of Infinity 1001A and a pair of AR 92. For some reason the sound of these two speakers together was incredible. They just filled the room with loud clear music. The bad news is nothing lasts forever, and I have never found another two that had the magic. Hey, We can play around with the toys any way we want, it's all part of fun of this hobby.
Combined speakers yeild even better performance
The other day I decided to try something I've always wanted to try. I wanted to see what it would sound like if I added an Energy Veritas 2.2 (good quality bookshelf 3-way speaker) to each of my Thiel 2.3 front speakers. The Energy speakers are stacked on top of the Thiels (using spikes with protective disks underneath) and are slightly angled down toward the listening position using longer spikes in the rear.
The results were very surprising. The dynamic range was improved, and the over-all sound was more coherent and full. The performance was incredibly engaging for both music and movies.
The problem is, I'm stuck in a moral dilemma. How can a mess with the design of such a great speaker as the Thiel, even if the sound produced is better than before?
I'm wondering if anyone else has ever tried this experiment.
