stacking speakers?


Hi, I have two seperate systems, one for audio, and one for HT. I use tower speakers for the audio system and bookshelf for the HT. Due to space limitations and speaker placement recommendations ( i.e. fronts HT speakers should the same level as the center speaker) I would like to stack the bookshelfs on top of the towers. Can any one tell me the pro's and/or con's of this? I've already tried looking up past threads on this, but couldn't find anything. Thanks.

I am kind of new to this high end stuff and usually read all the posts just to learn from those with more knowledge and experiance then myself, so this suggestion might sound off the wall but ,WHY DON'T YOU TRY STACKING THEM AND SEE HOW IT SOUNDS INSTEAD OF DEALING WITH THE POSSIBLE PROBLEMS THAT DON'T EXIST YET?
Sorry DBX, I guess I came through a little rough and should have explained myself better.As far as I know , there is no damage that can be done by stacking speakers on top of each other from two seperate systems ( except maybe scratchin the speakers, and be careful not to short any wires), maybe someone could correct me ?. So then, the only way I know of to see if, or how much the sound is effected is to try it out. Bottom line is your gonna have to try it, it will cost you nothing more then the time it takes to set it up. Then IF there is a problem with the sound you can identify the problem and (with the help of those in the forum) ,work on fixing it.
