I have a pair of Klipsch 62 II tower speakers. They are just over 40" tall. I am considering getting a projector screen that would go wall to wall, and doing so would leave about 30" from the bottom of the screen and the floor. If I lay the speakers are a 45 degree angle forming a right triangle with the floor, the speaker would be about 29" high, thereby not blocking the screen. Is there any reason not to do this? I'm okay with a slight reduction in absolute perfect audio, but not okay with damaging the speakers.

You wont damage them.

The main reason would that such a setup would reduce high frequency content. Tweeters are designed to disperse horizontally, not at an angle.

Have you thought about building a false wall and going with an AT screen? Problem solved...

This false wall idea will change your life!

The dispersion pattern will be messed up, making good imaging next to impossible.

Go with an AT screen. If we can help you, give us a call.

Bad idea. Buy some bookshelf speakers and a sub.
