That is an interesting and aesthetically pleasing way to stack. But I don't think it is the best approach. Trying to get both Quads to integrate at the listening position never seems to work very well.
IME stacking so that one pair of the stack is optimized for the listening position seems to work best. The other Quad is used for reinforcement. This produces the most focused sound.
Stax stacked the F-81 into a single frame and called it the F-83. The listener will be on axis with the lower panel and the upper panel adds reinforcement, improves bass, larger overall soundstage image size, etc.
