Speakers on top of subwoofer

Is mounting a speaker on top of a sub a bad idea?  Specifically, a Harbeth 40.x mounted with isolators on each corner so the cabinet can flex/breath on top of a Rythmyk E15  I have a limited amount of floor space and the Rythmyk is a little taller than a Tonteger which is a good thing since the Tons are a little short to place the tweeter around my ear height.

+1 no speakers in top of subs. Also, for optimal sound you will have to move them around… optimal can be almost anywhere in the room.

@ghdprentice    Don't do this? Wilson is doing it wrong?  BTW...these go down to 20 HZ.   B&W, TAD and many others do the same split configuration.

You're placing your speakers in the optimal position for your listening. That doesn't mean that is the optimal position for the subs. Sub placement will be trial and error until you find the optimal placement.

Are those the 40.3 XDs?  Those must be some nice speakers!
