Stacking my Speakers

[Connor1a]

I noticed that the tops of my SVS SB-1000 Pro subs (with added floor stands) are precisely the same height as my Wharfedale Linton speaker stands. Less than an inch or so. Further, the tops are just the right width / length. I’m incredibly tight on floor space for my speakers. Is there any reason that I can’t / shouldn’t stack my Lintons on my SVS subs? The combination is within the weight limitation of the sub stands (< 75#). I really need the floor space… Thanks much!

Better bass response may be achieved by placing the subs more freely in the room.

Other than that, as long as you put some felt, foam, or silicone between the two speakers to inhibit vibration transmission, I don't see a reason for concern.

A simple test: Play music with a lot of bass and put your hand on the subwoofer, and if you feel vibrations, it means that those same vibrations would be transmitted to the speaker boxes that would be placed on the subwoofer.

If you stack. A possible advantage is if you can run your subs in stereo mode.It will then be like a four-way speaker solution.

It seems that the SVS subs go quite high up in frequency. You can try and see if you like let's say crossover point at 200 Hz, maybe 220 Hz? That on the condition that you have an adjustable crossover, LP-HP, which enables it. I would use a fairly steep crossover in that case.
