JBL L212 towers - why not - stacked!

[hjames]

We had a couple trees come down June 27th which means a lot of yard work for this retired soul. Got the stump ground down Tues so I've been wheelbarrowing the chips around,
but after heavy rainstorms last night, the chips are heavy, and - time for kicking back and music fun.
So, over time, I managed to collect 2 pairs of L212 speakers, one pair walnut, one pair looks to be teak. But, neither pair had the fragile B212 bass module (subwoofer)
so I've used a B&K Volkswoofer to bring up the bottom end.
And, after seeing images of 3 pair stacked, I'd been threatening my local friends for ages that I'd stack my pair to see and hear what's up.
And today was the day ...
Using Emma's iPad with Apple's Remote app to play (lossless) tracks locally via iTunes through a Wiim Pro and the Carver Amp

Interesting... I was picturing them stacked vertically... tweeter to tweeter 'top' unit upside down (physical stability would be 'fun')

Not sure how stable a top-down stack would be. But the mini wall-of-Sound actually sounds pretty good.
Emma came down and played some tracks (lossless local streaming from iTunes), and Fantasy from Earth Wind and Fire was most impressive ...
tho I may have just a titch too much bass and need to slightly dial back the Volkswoofer.

Nice compact.
