I wonder if you know of any other speakers which are good to stack.
Small ones, very small ones, preferably.


As a general principle, stacking speakers not designed to be
stacked is a bad idea.

In your particular case, you're starting with small speakers
essentially designed for close proximity listening in small
rooms at moderately loud levels. Getting another pair of the
is not going to make much of a difference in terms of how well
they will play broad-band material at high levels, and will
make the combination worse in a number of other ways. If you
like these speakers, stacking another is as likely as not
going to make you like the result less.

One of the other correspondent's suggestion of adding a subwoofer
to the system could be beneficial, if and only if it's done
right, and that means relieving the main speakers task of doing
what it's not good at doing: playing low frequencies at any
appreciable levels (I don't mean LOUD). That would means restricting
the amount of low frequency information sent to the mains, e.g.,
restricting the mains tro 15Hz, at the lowest.

If done right (and that's a big 'if'), it could work out well for you.


[ I am pretty certain Mr. Pierce typo'd 150Hz there, for 15.
