In process of completing my HT design in new house. Using RT55's for front Left and Right. With my set-up, I can't put the top of the speaker higher than 30" off the ground. Will this provide good direction or(as I suspect) too low?

I may try to angle speakers up, but can I invert the speakers and place tweeter at the bottom? I read somewhere that commonly speakers are directional downward, if I invert the direction will then come towards listening position.

Thoughts?

    Just angle them up a little. You'll be fine.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    I agree - angle them up a tad. 30" is about ear level for me so it would actually be great.
