plastic penguin said:Yes there are a few with the treble sited at the bottom, Dynaudio Contour range is another. But if it's designed with that configuration it shouldn't IMO be turned upside down. Like the Iotas are meant to be sideways....

Bet you were a whizz in exams: 'Yes I know I answered completely the wrong question just because I didn't bother to read it in the first place before pronouncing, but of course what the question should have said was...' :rofl:

I took 'em: let's face it, a lot of us took all sorts of things in those days. But I didn't inhale.
And to answer the OP, yes – no problem at all. Or on their sides should you want/need to. If we're talking the 'upside down' models such as those I illustrated, just ensure the tweeter is just below ear level, which is how the speakers were intended to be used.

Well I learnt something new today. Never heard of a D' Appolito configuration before - how did we live without google & wikipedia?matthewpiano said:As Dave refers to, time alignment is a consideration. Mission don't just put their drive units that way round for fun just as floorstander manufacturers don't choose a d'appolito arrangement for aesthetic reasons.

I'm a qualified Pool referee. You perhaps won't be surprised to hear that when I took the first exam I deliberately answered the first question incorrectly because I believed (and still do) that the rule it referred to was written ambiguously (and had witnessed the ambiguity in action), so I put the wrong answer because I wanted to argue the point with the examiners. I know what the rule is supposed to say but it doesn't quite say it (there's an unnecessary use of "and/or" in the rule when it only needs "or").
