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

with most crossover slopes you get better phase agreeance between the tweeter and woofer when listening below the tweeter axis.

Try it.

Get about 5-7 feet away from your speakers and sit on the floor. listen to the phase, listen to the mids and upper mids get a lot more snappy and clean. In most cases, that is.
