just got my new M-Audio BX8a Deluxe (finally) and they sound amazing especially considering how cheap they are.

Question:  Should I only place them the standard way, meaning tweeter on top?  They really fit my work environment laying on their sides (at least for now anyway).  M-Audio dose NOT recommend this in the manual BTW.

your thoughts?

Can you even hear the difference? 

You can place it sideways with tweeter on the outside.  that is pretty standard too i think.
