So just for kicks today I hooked up my B&W 601's in tandem with my B&W 603's while listening to stereo music. The 601's were powered by separate amps as were the 603's, 120W/ch to each speaker.
Holy man does it every have bag by doing this. I have often wondered what the system would sound like with the 601's on top of the 603's, kinda like a pseudo line array. Well I got my answer today, my ears are still ringing from the output. I must have been listening to it at a much louder level than I realized.
Sonically it seemed a bit compressed though the presence was very real sounding. I think the compression feel may be due to the fact that I was sitting too close to the speakers (~ 7'). I would need more room if I was to keep this as a permament configuration. Center stage certainly took on a deeper, more solid feel and the system seemed to have a lot more punch overall.
My question is, Am I performing a sonic faux pau by doing this?
