Well with my infinitely tolerant wife's help, and a hydraulic car jack, I was able to hoist one (Heavy!!) open baffle woofer tower onto a subwoofer. I'm going to sleep on "the look" before deciding, but my first reaction is that it makes the woofer tower too tall and imposing. I originally built in space below the bottom woofer in that array so that the overall array would be at a sensible height, but that space looks out of place when it's on top of a subwoofer. I may be better off putting the subwoofers just behind the pairs of towers rather than using them as bases for the woofer arrays. Not what I envisioned, but maybe the smarter move---especially given the bit of a grimace-tainted forced smile on my wife's face as we stepped back after perching the first woofer tower on its subwoofer.
If I do put the subwoofers behind the towers, that might force the towers a few more inches out into the room. That's something I would prefer anyway for acoustic reasons, so maybe the speaker gods are trying to tell me something.
