After seeing pictures of the SoundLabs that Kimber had set up at RMAF I decided to forget about stacking my CLS's and see what they sound like side by side.I wire them series-parallel,that is positive out from amp to positive of first cls,then the neg of the first cls to the pos of the second cls, and the neg of the second cls to the neg of the amp.The amp sees the same impedence as 1 speaker( I used to wire stacked Quad57 this way).
So how do they sound?Well I should have tried this years ago.Everything about the cls improves most notably the bass, and there is more fullness and the room is awash in sound but it is not loud.There are no phase or time differences to my ears by running them side by side and that was my initial fear,and the reason I felt stacking would be the only way to run 2 pair.Thank you Mr. Kimber and the sites that posted your set up.It gave me the push top do what I have done and there is no turning back to one pair of speakers.I should add that I do have a rather large listening room,but I can't see the doulble pair not working better than a single pair even in a small room.Again it is not a loudness thing, but the room is filled with more sound.
If anyone has a single pair,seek out another and double them up.You will be impressed,and quite pleased.
