My speakers are not stackable (for one thing the resulting stack would be 10 feet tall), would a side by side arrangment work? If I made sure the front face was on the same plane for each "set" I am also wondering what problems might arise if I tried to spread them out a bit either on the same plane or all angled in to the main listening area. It is interesting to know that some high end manufacturers have experimented with the 2 pairs of speakers arrangment. I know if a person was to start over spending twice as much on just one pair is probably the best way to go, but if you like what you have and just want *more* of it......

The speakers mentioned above, Duntech, Montana..etc. have the woofers farther apart..and the tweeter(s) centered. The lower the freq./Hz./CPS the more omni-directional, and the longer the wavelength. The distance the woofers are apart has a greater chance of cancelling or re-inforcing the range they cover..on the other hand, the higher the freq. the more directional or cardioid the pattern of radiation is. Placing the speakers side-by-side or one in front of the other has a less likely chance of being of any merit. |
Place the speakers back-to-back. You'll have a bipole sound radiation pattern with sound emanating from the front and back and diminished levels to the side. Mirage has made a number of great sounding speakers along this design principle. You'll need to position the speakers so that there's plenty of space to the rear wall (3 feet minimum, but the more the better). You should get a big, spacious soundstage with large-scale dynamics. All the setups will result in noticeable phase inteference problems. |
With Double Advents, how do you correctly wire the speakers if you are using one amp? I read how to stack them all the time, but how do you correctly run the speaker wire to connect the 2 speakers on each side? [email protected] |
