Active monitor placement

[yipchunyu]

due to the limit space of my living room. I can only put my monitors on a relatively high position. So, I would like to turn my monitors upside down. (so the tweeter can close to the ear level).
Any bad side effects?

p.s. I am using yorkville ysm1p

Be VERY CAUTIOUS placing active monitoring -- Check the manual, etc. That's a whole lot of high-heat circuitry in a small box with limited transmission of buildup. Flipping them over can be a very, very bad idea in many cases.

If the manual says "this way" and doesn't specifically mention "you can also place them that way" then just place them as suggested.

and if you can't go upside down, try angling them downward more to where tweeter meets the ear.
Providing, of course, you can get them secure.
