crod Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I am new to this so I have a question that might have been already answered. Can I have my book shelf speakers set up on their side (horizontally)? Would it affect performance? I currently have tight set up for my turntable and my speakers would fit much better this way. Right now I am running it with my Klipsch B-100 but I also have some R-41Ms I could switch them out for. What would you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Yes, you can. Not sure why this is posted in the "Klipsch website and forum info" section, though. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it will unless you always turn your head 90 degrees to the floor. If you're listening to the loudspeakers always on-axis in the near field (less than 3 feet, and you never move from dead center, and the loudspeakers are toed-in to point directly at your listening position at head height), you'll be okay, but off-axis listening is not okay. There is a reason why the drivers are stacked vertically in all multiway loudspeakers (i.e., those not using co-axial or multiple-entry-horn output).
