Radical thought- Use 2 pair of speakers


Ok this sounds crazy at first but, is it possible and practical to hook up two sets of speakers for your mains. Each pair has it's own unique characteristics to why not add them together? It is still a 2 channel system. A bigger sound stage? If you have two matched amps, dedicate one to each? I know there are many reason why this cuts accross conventional logic but has anyone tested this theory?

the idea isn't radical, has been done with stacked advents, and dahlquists, probably others. I suspect the results you get from mixing 2 diff speakers will be un-predictable at best. But if it works when trying it, and doesn't create impedance issues, more power to ya.

Because most likely you'll have more of cancellation and addition than complementarity, resulting in nulls & humps.
But... you never know!
Seems like it would be hard to get them to image well with such a large baffle area. (I guess I assumed you meant they would sit side by side?)
