HOW TO POSITION 2 PAIRS OF SPEAKER FOR ALTERNATE LISTENING

@rbstehno  +1  The effect will be a slight "smearing" of the sound of the speakers that are playing.

I have seen the mids/woofers moving a little so I just moved them out. I can’t remember if I heard a difference or not, it’s been years

The biggest problem is that you may want each pair of speakers in the same location in the room when being listened to. Better to put the unused pair in another location in the house. If the unused pair must be in the room, short the speakers by running jumpers from positive to negative terminals, and cover them with a blanket.

@stfoth  Can't respond about hearing an audible impact.  The only time I've experienced multiple speaker pairs in the same room is at a dealer's and they are not usually interested in moving other speakers out of the room to accommodate to a customer unless serious $ is at stake.
