Folks, This is my first post, so forgive my basic questions. I will eventually get to my "what speaker is best question". But I have some space issues which will shape that question. I am wondering if it is heresy to place front LR speakers on their sides? This would give me more room to place a larger speaker in the furniture setup I'm working with. It is limited to a height of 12.5 inches. I haven't seen this question addressed before, perhaps for good reason. Am I all wet?

Most speakers can be placed on their side with no ill effects. Make certain the tweeter stays at approximately ear level. Normally place the tweeters to the outside.

FWIW, I second that, completely.

Thank you for your responses. This will allow me to move up a notch in my choice of speakers. I suspected this was the case since I've done this with my stereo speakers for years, but I wasn't sure how this played out in the surround sound envirionment. Again, thanks and I will move to a more appropriate forum to discuss speaker choices.
