A coaxial speaker like the LS50's is designed to have a reasonably smooth off axis response as a function of frequency. Stacking negates that benefit.

If your goal is a broader image - use the second pair behind and outboard of your main pair of speakers...

Bare in mind I have dabled in stacked speakers back in the day... I help a guy do Stacked and inverted Dahlquist DQ10's in 1982... looked a bit daunting - wish I still had the picture. And in 1978 I set up a pair of stacked Advents - again inverted in our retail store (StereoTown DesMoines West and it actually resulted in several sales, including a stacked (4 pair) of Cerwin Vega 15 inch speakers to a Disco south of DesMoines (driven by 4 Citation 16 Power Amplifiers!).
