Stand up, lie down?

I plan to use some new Monitor 5s for bookshelves and want to lie them on their sides. In the day, before half the board was born, I was told that you should not do this to a speaker intended as floor standing. But then I was told a lot of stuff...."hey smoke this, it won't affect your brain". Anyone see a problem to lying these down. I know someone here does this with 7s. Thanks

For 2 channel listening I'd say no way. As a surround it probably would sound alright. I doubt you would do any damage to the magnets, etc. if that's what you are asking
H9"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul! -

Any damage is an issue (if someone says so). I was more concerned about SQ since the speaker wes constructed to have the drivers on top of each other and not beside one another. Maybe a dumbshot question. -
in my current set up my rti4's are on their backs for surround duty and it does the trick !
