Which way do I lean...


Is it "OK" to put speakers on their side?
I’m thinking about bookshelf to mid sized that might fit on a shelf if turned sideways.

Specifically:
Klipsch Heresy - I may have a need.
Martin Logan 35XT - I have a need.
Watkins, Gen 4 (which are very unlikely to be re-oriented).

Do previously on top tweeters, horns, now go on the inside, or outside or ?

Simply because the Heresy has a stand incorporated on bottom does not mean it can’t be turned to its side. C’mon, people, where’s your creativity?! ;)

I find it so refreshing, so interesting to turn speakers on their sides to create a Landscape orientation versus the typical Portrait orientation, that I have even done so with 4’ tall speakers such as the Daedalus Ulysses, Magneapn .7 and PureAudioProject Trio15 Horn1 (my favorite in Landscape orientation)!

It costs nothing, harms nothing, and is informative and fun! Go for it! While at it, try upside down too! Some speakers sound better inverted, even though the designer made them conversely. :)

Oh, yes, and play with the baffle slope, the angle of the front, to suit your taste.
