From historical pictures of a certain brand I've seen a few examples of bookshelf speakers that started off in horizontal mode.
A while ago I read about a producer mentioning his monitors sounded slightly dull in treble and solved this by placing them horizontal with the tweeters outwards which improved the overall sound a lot and got the treble right.
Now it should be noticed that some monitors / speakers might do better than others. And also in terms of measurements it might not be ideal, but in terms of a change and judging by personal preference it is an option.
I tried my secondary pair of small bookshelves upstairs horizontally, it doesn't look weird, and I like the sound for a change. It's a slightly different perception and might keep it this way for a while.
Maybe one to try at home.
