CSI3 orientation question?

Hi:

I have a CSI3 center and due to space requirements I have to have it in front of the tv on the floor. I want to get a 12" stand to bring it up off the floor, however. When I do, should I keep it inverted so that the speaker is still angled up or should I flip it so that it is flat on the stand? The viewing position is about 12' from the tv - straight in front.

Thanks:)

    I used a laser pointer to aim all of my speakers. You should aim it at your ear level in the primary listining position.
    Wish I was a polkologist then I could call my self Dr.warviper.

    I'd vote for upside down.

    Dito fireshoes...with it still pretty low you most likely want it aimed up.
    A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part...

    I never thought of that. Good idea. Tweeters, right?

    I did the same thing, made setting up the speakers MUCH easier. Using a scale, I could set up my speakers relative to the listening position to within an eighth of an inch.
