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 agree that if you have one monster set of speakers with some serious drivers (Cornwalls?) that stacking 2 sets might be superfluous.. bit i am in the camp of having the extra small speakers lying about not earning me a dime... and they do bring a bit more rawk to me rawknroll ... tallyho!!

playing two pair of speakers at the same time cannot offer hi fidelity unless it uses two identical pairs and placed on top of each other

I am running ELAC Navis book shelf  active speakers currently.

I have acquired another identical pair of the ELAC's  and am considering a dual pair configuration as being discussed in this forum.

Worth pursing?

Not anymore! Your clarity and detail will suffer.

I have a Linn L100 power amp which does accomodate 2 pairs of speakers . I have tried a pair of carlsson OA50's and Sonab 0A14's both upward facing speakers and the soundstage is still apparent . Walls don't matter with these speakers . as someone once said 2 is better than 1 so logic dictates 4 must be better than 2 ?
