Yes. You can play music on both frontends simultaneously.<br>
No. There is no mechanism to maintain synchronization of playback for<br>
two independent frontends.<br>
<br>
You either need to have a single, central playback device, with audio<br>
lines run to both amps, or you will need to develop some synchronization<br>
mechanism to keep playback of both frontends in lock-step. Note, the<br>
ear is very good at picking out delayed audio. For a muted echo,<br>
anything within a few dozen ms would likely be sufficient. If both<br>
sources are at the same perceived volume, more than a couple ms will be bad.<br>
<br>
The brain doesn't like when an echo is too loud. It's competing range<br>
cues, and you can't unconsciously ignore it. It's the same reason why<br>
stereoscopic TV, with variable convergence but static focus, gives many<br>
people headaches.<br>
