Does anyone play two pairs of speakers at the same time?


I have found that certain combinations of speaker pairs produce a better sound than the single pair alone. For example: Klipsch Quartets and PSB Image 4T (new tweeters from Vifa) Quartets inside pair and volume matched to PSBs. I have done this over the years and found some great combinations.

i just did this experiment and ended up burning out 4 pairs of expensive flux capacitors .
Way back, I played stacked large Advents with SAE amp.
They sounded OK but occasionally popped the stylus out of the groove.
Blew a few woofer surrounds too.
To this day I’m not fond of foam surrounds
Stacked Quads were/are(?) popular. And multi sub woofers are used. But outside of surround sound and home theatre, I don't personally know of anyone mixing different speakers simultaneously .
I have a two channel preamp and run one channel through a McIntosh MC302 amp and the other channel through a Bryston 4Bsst2 amp. One amp is connected to a pair of Pardigm signature S8V3 speakers and the other through vintage JBL L150 speakers. I have the right channel/left channel speakers pretty close together and spacing between the pairs of about 6 feet. This is an odd setup, mating more efficient modern Paradigm speakers with vintage less efficient JBL's so I adjusted the gain on the Bryston amp to match it better. I do like the sound of this setup, but sometimes go with individual pairs depending on the constellations or horoscope or something like that...
