Experience with stacked subwoofers?


I have seen a handful of responses to posts mentioning stacked line array subwoofers, like the stackable Rel 510s. Does anyone have a stacked subwoofer array in their system and can speak to their experience?  The marketing hype that Rel puts out about this has me intrigued. Their explanation as to why it’s awesome makes sense, but also I want to go beyond the marketing and hear about real experiences before I drop a bunch of dough on something like that.

Have been using stacked subs in my HT room for almost a year now. Still sorting the room out, and don't have long enough cables to put them in the proper place. 

To sort out L/C/R speakers, the subs had to move, so they go stacked in the corner of the room. Yes, ran DSP after. Both subs have footers under them, to isolate from each other. 

They sound just fine, get all the bass I could ever want and then some. Once stacked, both needed the gain to be turned down. Think it's a little cleaner, but these are movie subs, not musical.
