2 pairs of speakers

[Greg1717]

I have two pairs of identical speakers Polk Audio RTi70. Could I use all four as my front speakers. Each pair will have its own amp.  How would that affect imaging and depth.

I use two pairs of Energy 22's (with the top pair upside down so that all 4 tweeters are in the middle). In the forums, folks complained about comb filter effects making the sound bad. I spent a lot of time positioning the speakers and have found the sound quite pleasing. At first, the stereo image was a little diffuse (less localized than a single pair), but the sound was so rich that it seemed worth it. I have tamed this diffusion with other things (wall treatment, different cables, speaker placement/toe in/height, and even adding an inexpensive streamer) to good effect. So, I'd say it is worth the effort to experiment. You can always unstack them...

a Gloggle search on "stacked Advents" should come in useful...

Just rediscovered the magic of stacked  Advents (NLA Advent/1).

 

They are magical!!! Shown here in my test lab where I restore vintage speakers... Ignore the electronics in the front - on the back side of the bench lurks an vintage Pioneer SX-1010 (100-110watts X2) from 1973.  The only way to drive speakers from the same era.

 

Those Advent 10" woofers and Fried Egg Tweeters would put many modern speakers to shame
