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.

Yes I've been experiementing lately and found this to be 100% true.
1 speaker will not make magic happen.
My previous local tech had stacked Acoustic Reserach from the 1970's, sounded great
Richard Gray stacks the Realistic Rat Shak Nova 7B's. Sound great. 
I am stacking a  high sens 91db  FR with dual low sens 87 db Seas W18 midwoofer, xover at 2k, about to adda  2.2 cap and bring this down to 1600hz. 
The 5 inch FR whizzzer cone lacks the low end, the dual W18's come in beautifully.
Success at pairing low sens + relatively high sens.
Pairing dif speakers together is really the only way to go.
This is the new high fidelity. 
, at least the efficiency should be in similar range.

Im running 91 sens FR with SEAS W18E001 dual each channel and having success, But best to cross the W18  low, say 1500hz. This adds a  bass floor to the 4,5 or 6.5 inch FR. 
Now the FR at 97db, the W18's at 87db won;t work. 
So agree, sens has to be at least close

I'm about to go SET amp  and dump the Defy7,,so I might have to dump the W18's and find a  higher sens bass unit to go with the Voxativ 8 AC1A
But I'll bet the non-casual listener, who enjoys sonic accuracy, would be shocked to hear an acoustically well-set-up quality two channel speaker compared to a mish-mash of various speakers channeled together when volume matched. It's all good; just keep listening!

No doubt about it, Stacking old Advents, Acoustic Research, Rat Shak's sounds pretty awaesome,,,,TILL

A master shooter likea   Voxativ AC1A with 97db walks into the saloon shooting down all these ~~Frankenstein~~ speakers,, as Adam over at madisound  labeled my Seas W18E001 duals  paired with 91db FR ~~monster~ aka The Frankenstein,,But I am loving this sound vs the Thors with the seas Millennium tweeter. \
= Mix N match works great,, until a  REAl DEAL highs ens super high tech walks into town and blows away all these  Frankensteins,,,lol
We did that in college. Nothing like two pairs of JBL driven by 60 watts of Kenwood and Pioneer (using only the highest quality lamp cord, it should go without saying) in a 8x15 foot dorm room. Totally recreates with perfect fidelity the experience of high sound pressure levels.
