We Saved The Best For Last!

Hi
First time poster and fan of Ascend.

I've heard the ELX and was very impressed. I wonder if anyone has tried to "stack" a Sierra 2 EX V2 on top of a Sierra ELX Tower and run them concurrently as one speaker.

I ask because I'm currently doing that with my Aerial Acoustics 8. To get more of the midrange and highs at less than reference volume, I stack my M&K S1-C on top of the Aerial Acoustic 8.
Plenty of power on both - 600+wpc from bridged Mcintosh MC7270 on the Aerial Acoustics 8, and 500+wpc on the M&K S1-C.

Seems to deliver that extra ooomph in the mid-range and tweeter and lower volumes.
I can do this because Krell Pre-amp has dual pre-outs. I stack them to minimize phase or any other delays.

I get the effect of many types of post-200ish 2 part speakers - with additional tweeters and midrange above the main body.

Thoughts?

From an objective standpoint, this is definitely not recommended as it will introduce comb filtering as well as destroy the highly optimized directivity of the speaker, which leads to the ELX's near textbook perfect estimated in-room response.

From a subjective standpoint, hey - if you like the way it sounds, that is all the matters.

wish it was that easy. It is not. It is about the # of drivers, the # of wpc, and lots of other things that DIRAC, MEN, Room Perfect, Lyngdorf do not solve. I can adjust EQ all day and not solve that.

Can you?

Solve what? What are you trying to solve?
