powering two pairs of Dahlquist DQ10s


I just got a second set of Dahlquist DQ10 speakers and am wondering how to use them.

I have he first set mounted on a wall, powered by a van Alystne mod Double Dyna 400. Somebody suggested to me that I could use the second set on stands underneath the first and biamp them.

This is new territory for me. How exactly would this work? Is it also possible to power them both with the same amplifier?

The wall is the right place, DQ10s should be seen and not heard! LOL You can power them both with the same amp IF it will handle low impedance loads. Running them in parallel will halve the impedance the amp sees, not all amps will be happy with this. Why do you want to use 2 pairs, more volume? A sub for one pair may be more practical. Electrostatics and planar are doubled to increase volume and bass, cone speakers are more problematic as they will usually play loud enough and the multiple drivers will interfere with each other to a greater degree.
