 Do you remember Why is not a good idea to combine A + B speakers??? |
Most likely because they will be run in parallel, thereby presenting a difficult load to your receiver/amp. Depending on the receiver/amp, this may or may not present a problem. If it's a problem, it will most likely be present at higher volumes, as that's when the most current will be demanded from the amplifier. All that said, I have done all types of parallel speaker installations and A+B installations (my own stuff, I'm not a pro "installer") over the years and have never had a problem. If you find that your receiver/amp is getting hot, distorting or shutting down, then you have a problem. If not, go for it.

I gainned 5 bds using them together (I used the SPL to measure the sound with one and the two pairs and that was the difference)  |
Yeah, I would have predicted a 6 dB gain, so you're right on target. However, keep in mind that absolute SPL gain isn't the only thing we're going for.

This is a temporary set up ... I have to use REW to measure the response to decide if I keep it or not.
Somethimes we like to experiment things, Right  |
I agree that it's cool to experiment. But I think I'm with Kal on this one. Even if REW measures well or the same, I think overall sound will be better with only the one pair of speakers. There's just too much going on with the combining of the speakers. But if you like it, go for it!
