Has Anyone Ever Run TWO Identical Pairs of Speakers ?

I’m considering buying an extra pair of tower speakers identical to the ones I currently own. I would wire them as 4 ohm speakers powered by about 250wpc,

Each set of two speakers would be placed next to each other so there would be 2 identical left channel speakers and 2 identical right channel speakers, with each pair separated by about 1/2.” 
My listening chair chair can be as close as 8’ from the “center” of the speakers to as far back as 20’ from the “center” of the speakers.

And the actual distance between these two seperate pairs of speakers could range from 6’ from each pair to as much as 18’ for each pair. I would of course spend a great deal of time ‘dialing” them in for the best sound.

Has anyone ever tried this, and what were your results?

I’d appreciate your collective informed thoughts.

goodlistening64,

Thank you for the feedback The decision to try this only came about after the Polk’s popped up on eBay in early June. I have these particular Polk’s in my eBay watch list and usually the one’s that pop up are in poor condition and/or the BIN price or starting bid is more than I was willing to pay. This purchase was both an experiment to acquire a second set to run in a double front speaker combination, and if that didn’t work sonically, I would simply have an extra pair as parts and/or backup.

Now I have a problem: They sound so good that I guess I now need yet another pair for parts/backup! 😳😳😳
