stacking speakers?


Hi, I have two seperate systems, one for audio, and one for HT. I use tower speakers for the audio system and bookshelf for the HT. Due to space limitations and speaker placement recommendations ( i.e. fronts HT speakers should the same level as the center speaker) I would like to stack the bookshelfs on top of the towers. Can any one tell me the pro's and/or con's of this? I've already tried looking up past threads on this, but couldn't find anything. Thanks.

I overlooked Sean's good point. I assumed the monitors would be removed when not in use. Resonance is more likely to be a greater problem for music than HT in your situation.
Have you not tried it yet? You're probably in the best position in determining the implications.

The only real possible problem i can see would be a compromised tonal balance due to the height of the placement and placement relative to the walls, but you may get lucky. With HT, I doubt coupling differences between stands and your speakers will be a sonic issue, but watch out for scratches :)
