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

If Alan Shaw doesn’t see a problem, then what's the problem? It will be fine.

Just curious about whether others have tried this with any speakers, and what their experiences were.

I’ve had this same thought. Wouldn’t the music be upside down? But seriously, hopefully someone comes along with experience to set the record straight. For starters, what do your speaker footers look like and how would you relocate them to the new bottom?

He's saying the bass would be boosted? With the woofers * further * from the floor???
