Any reason not to place stand mounted speakers upside down?

I ask because, for example, Harbeth perform best when the tweeters are at ear level, but I have some very good stands (Osiris!) that are taller than ideal. So, if I were to place them upside down...

Apparently Alan Shaw sees no problem, but points out that the bass would be boosted. I'd be interested to hear other views.

Cheers,

Tony

Of course, besides flipping the speaker, you can use IsoAcousutic style pucks to tilt them. :)

No, but do listen.  The ideal listening location is usually somewhere at or below the tweeter axis when placed normally, so you might very well prefer to listen on mid woofer axis anyway.
