Given the layout of the domes on the ARs horizontal makes more sense than vertical mounting.
In the 1st issue of TAS, Harry Pearson tested double Advents and loved them calling them a big advance over singles. But interference affects between upper frequency drivers can cause dips and peaks and doubling can change the bass/upper frequency balance. I recall testing double Advents against IMF Studio speakers. Then we tried single Advents and the singles had better focus and detail. Stacking needs to be done carefully.

This is a good post from Tom Tyson, an AR guru over at the Classic Speaker Pages on the subject of stacking AR speakers. Sent me on my journey.
Interesting that Tyson recommends a vertical stack with woofers at the top and bottom (upper pair inverted).
In the mid-'70s I had Double Advents as recommended in TAS. I tried both side by side and vertical, but never horizontal stacking. I preferred vertical with the top pair inverted, just as Tyson suggests for the AR-3s.
