Can I swap the tweeter and the midrange port on my RTi series?

I have a pair of RTi-A7’s as my front speakers.
My CSi-A6 is placed under my TV making the tweeter about 12” lower than the tweeters on my fronts.

This is especially noticeable when using the test tone feature on my receiver; the sound noticeably jumps much higher when moving from my center to the fronts. (Higher in height, not volume)

I’ve noticed that the piece containing the hole for the midrange port, is the same size and shape and the tweeter housing. Swapping these would bring the tweeter down closer to ear level and almost exactly in line with the tweeter on my center.

Is there any reason why I should stop being picky and try to ignore this problem? I’m confident I can complete the swap unless there’s an unforeseen problem I’ll encounter inside the cabinet.

What do you think? Should I leave it alone?

    Use the AVR calibration program to adjust the channel levels.
