802.11's CCA (Clear Channel Assessment) function will keep two nearby co-channel devices from transmitting on top of each other. The two devices will 'share' the wireless medium. If you locate the devices on adjacent (or closer) channels, then you make this process less effective at performing this function, and are more likely to end up in a situation where the APs (and/or their associated clients) actually do interfere with each other. (I use 'interference' here in the RF sense of the term.) Also, if the APs are co-channel, then the client devices won't have to "scan" to find a nearby AP with better signal strength. (The beacons will be received, as long as the client isn't in a power-save mode.) I don't know what you mean by "seek connection" or "multipath zone" or why one is slow and the other is 'wide'.
