W60 on top of W70?

Mono system. Single Wharfedale W60 on top of a single W70 or visa versa? What orientation of these two speakers mated, would sound best? Currently I tried w60 on top, tweeters swapped(super3 in the W60 to put the higher extension on top with w60 on its side.) Should the tweets be on one axis or the woofers. The W70 can sit upside down or sideways as well. So many options but what would make sence, technically?
Ill try them all eventually but would like opinions. I also have an extra 12" alnico Wharfedale woofer. The crossovers are not set in stone as I have plenty of different pio caps to play with. The w60 has an inductor for the woofer and a two position switch (soft, full) for the tweets, and the w70 has inductors for the 12" and 10" with a variable pad for the tweeter. I have all of those out of circuit, running the 12s full range and the tweets on 4uf caps. Both speakers are ported.

I see woofer top and bottom, tweets in the middle a lot with stacking. I have a pair of 90's. I can stack my OLA's or Imperial 6's on top and on their sides with a little room to spare. :biggrin:

Oh yes, trying this now. Sounds the best so far but the w60 looks weird now on top upright because of the wood slat being sideways.
