Having been made curious about 'brown dwarfs' (aka 'short Lamanites [you have to be mormon to get it...]), I asked Google and found one interesting item that I hope you haven't overlooked:  All the brown dwarf stars found to date are in binary systems.

But I found nothing regarding the possibility of the binary system having two brown dwarfs...

If you need a non-judgmental 'early reader,' feel free to reach out to me, a 78-year-old literate Sci/fi fanatic.

The reason that brown dwarfs are found in binary systems is probably because they are too faint to see on their own. It was only fairly recently that we could rule out Nemesis, which was a hypothetical brown dwarf star orbiting around Sol.
