I know those of you with home theater setups obviously have multiple pairs of speakers in the same room, but how many of you have two pairs of main speakers on the same side of the room? Perhaps you have a favorite pair that is not tube friendly and wish to have an occasional dip into the SET pool and need a second, SET-friendly pair in the same room?
I'm in the latter camp, but don't have a room wide enough to accommodate two pairs on the same plane and am worried that having a second pair behind the first would be a barrier (literally and figuratively) to good sound quality for either pair. I do wonder if the type of speaker (e.g. box vs box-less, dipole/omni-directional vs directional, horns in the corners, planars, etc) makes any difference.
Any experience/thoughts? It's entirely possible that I'm overthinking this, but I would rather not invest in a second pair and SET amp if there's too much acoustic impact.
My current speakers are Wilson Sophia 2, and room is 10x17x9 (it's actually 8' ceiling for about 40% of the room).
