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

Trusting your own ears, appears to be forbodden in audio forums.

It's not like driving a car in public, so do what ya like. I especially give props to all posters in virtual systems. Some rigs, just by looks are  STELLAR setups, Others....do what they like!

It’s OK for you to trust your own ears. Just don’t expect me to trust your ears.

Some, like the Buchardt, are already upside down.

Maybe: setting them up while drunk?  ;-)
