Setting floor speakers upside down.

[Obiwanshinobi900]

So I'm a bit cramped for space. I have my 5.1 surround sound system that includes 2 Polk Audio R50 floor speakers. Theyre on both sides of my pc desk and get in the way. I read somewhere that tweeters sound best when they are at ear level. Well if I flipped the floorspeakers upside down and put them on top of my desk they would still be at ear level.

This couldn't cause any potential problems or break my speakers could they? When they sound different just because they are upside down?

I decided I'd ask you guys first before making a stupid mistake and breaking my speakers.

That sounds obnoxious, putting floorstanders on a desk.

Well, I use them as my computer speakers and my home theater speakers, my entire bedroom is centered around my computer desk. Including my bed, where all the movies are watched from, so as of right now the speakers are pointed to the desk, I figure if I can put them on top of the desk I can angle them towards the bed.

You probably don't want the tweeters at ear level unless you're like 10 feet away
