Has Anyone Ever Run TWO Identical Pairs of Speakers ?

I’m considering buying an extra pair of tower speakers identical to the ones I currently own. I would wire them as 4 ohm speakers powered by about 250wpc,

Each set of two speakers would be placed next to each other so there would be 2 identical left channel speakers and 2 identical right channel speakers, with each pair separated by about 1/2.”
My listening chair chair can be as close as 8’ from the “center” of the speakers to as far back as 20’ from the “center” of the speakers.

And the actual distance between these two seperate pairs of speakers could range from 6’ from each pair to as much as 18’ for each pair. I would of course spend a great deal of time ‘dialing” them in for the best sound.

Has anyone ever tried this, and what were your results?

I’d appreciate your collective informed thoughts.

Some of his techniques like the one where he used hey antenna meter from an old receiver to show you how radio frequencies affect speaker wires was a little goofy. Here’s a Website that I think the author has more chops the good old boy Danny. https://www.axiomaudio.com/blog/comb-filtering-popular-misconceptions/

Yes for the same money you can have one pair of way better speakers.
