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 ?

There is no rule against it. Try it with tweets in or out to determine which sounds better.

Some Ohm speakers used to come with rotating labels in the grill corner indicating set things up your way as needed and that’s what people did.

You'll definitely get some strange dispersion patterns, though it could work.

As the Watkins are the clear choice among those 3, why not just get them?

P.S. have you looked at Fritz speakers?  And Buchardt?
