Looking GOOD!
Personally, I'd stack the Blue HDs, spalyed side-ways...with the black ones (also side-ways), on top, beneath Dan's old Omni-Tops (nice refurb on them by the way)..
That'd look tidy as fook, and give you (ever so slightly), better dispersion in my experience.

so there 3 high? 
would that sound better?
 
i havnt really tried different variations as yet, this was just a quick rig up and a play i had at home..
 
I didnt think it would make much difference to wich way the hds were stacked as long as all the mooths were togeva..
 
Any one else add any input to this?

haha, Plymouth union have mountains of those oldstyle par 56/36/birdies, some still installed in the stage room, and many more sat in the cupboard with blown lamps!!

think we skipped a good 30 last year which were dented ect to free up the storage

One problem you may come across is that the tops are a little high, so a bit of 1x1" wooden baton at the back of your tops, to angle them forward will be needed.
If you do this, you'll notice better projection of the tops, further back because of the height...but because of the tilt forward, they'll still cover in front of the speaker stacks.
If you do this: BE CAREFUL and make sure the tops are strapped down tight and safe!! Smile

See above. As well as the extra height to your tops, you'll still be getting the coupling with the floor, and a bit of extra dispersion.
When we had access to a pile of HDs (x12), we ran them this way occassionally...and found it better then the way you'd stacked them, which seemed to just result in a very narrow, forward firing ''power alley'' of bass.
Depends on what you want, I guess...

Good luck Smile

gloss roller mate the sponge type, gave them 2 thinish coats, then last one put on very thick and rolered very slowly and very light handed, line in the bottom picture is a scratch in the wood, i cnt really see any lines ive left, but it is a pain in the arse to get it to go on without showing where the roller ends, the lighter handed you are the better chance youve got of not getting the lines
