The dilemma:

new KRK V6 monitors, new production desk with a monitor shelf. All is good but the speaker's woofers are at ear level instead of the tweeters (which is the general rule of thumb). The only monitors I had placed horizontally in the past were my old Alesis mk2's, which were on stands. I'm now wondering, how important is the "tweeter at ear level" approach? I have no problem laying these babies on their side, in fact, I find it aesthetically pleasing, and by doing so, I would have both tweeter and woofer on a more linear plane. I have read about phase problems which can occor with horizontal placement, just trying to gather some opinions as to which takes priority (possible skewed imaging or tweeter/ears).

That said, if I were to place them on their sides, should the tweeters point out or in? I know it's subjective (I've seen many setup pics with NS-10's or others, with woofs either pointing out or in, I guess it depends on the room, preference, etc.?). I know I could jusy try and find out, but there's no one here to help me, so by the time I give a good listen one way then change things around, I won't have a clue as to which really sounds better, y'know?

Any advice is welcome...
