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.

not ideal and looks like a kludge but if you really enjoy the sound....

just make sure you have good iso dots under the speakers.

Definitive pioneered combining loudspeakers and subs in the same cabinet for decades and Golden Ear is doing this as well. I haven't seen any complaints about them.

I have enjoyed my Sony M7 sitting on top of my SVS SB16 ultra without any issues of vibration
