is this speaker designed to lay on it's side to act as a monitor wedge?

Short answer is yes they are. They have that tapered wedge shape on the back to allow the speaker to be placed on their sides and still be facing up to the players on the stage. I used three on my stage just as monitors. Now they can seem a bit bulky as floor monitors so make sure your stage area is large enough to handle the size. Also know that the amps inside are not that powerful so don't expect these to carry the load out to an audience of any great size.

The woofer should face a solid surface or the ground. I mounted mine horizontally about 8 feet off the ground. The mid and tweeter face directly toward the sitting area.

The speaker is a thin band all along the bottom edge of the Mini. It's adequate -- I'm listening to music right now -- and works best if the Mini is positioned on its side so that the speaker isn't facing into the desk.

I would say it is dense foam. It probably would. I just have speakers in without angle.

Slanted diagonally? Hrm.... I dunno.... Yes the speaker shelves do rotate.... I suppose it would depend on how big the overall measurements are of the monitors

It really doesn't matter, the unit looks good standing up or upside down, it just depends on what kind of cables you have. I have an AUX cable that is bent so it lays flat when it's plugged in, it looks good when the unit is upside down. When I have the usb plugged in, I lay it sideways, however it does sound better when standing upright (with the volume buttons on top, as the "woofers" are towards the bottom of the unit).

Remove the feet and you can set the speaker anyway you want.Do not lay speakers facing down.

Yes, the one I bought is running on it's side with no problems. In fact, the DVD/CDRW drive is sideways, for that reason it makes more sense to run it sitting on it's side than standing up. As some of the other answers point out, outside of the DVD player orientation, it looks like it was made to stand up.

you place your speakers on top and they help keep the vibrations from distorting the sound. they actually point the speaker either straight forward or down, depending on how you have the foam insert. technically, if you placed them on it backwards they would face more up, but they may not be as sturdy.

Yes. They point at about a 30 degree angle in one direction so when you install it, you need to position it where you want the sound to go.

Yes, the speaker points at the floor. It has four, 1 1/2 inch long, rubber tipped feet that suspend it above the surface it's on. Our carpet does not have a deep nap and we don't seem to have any problem with the bass. If you did have a deep carpet, perhaps get a square of wood or plastic to set it on but I don't know that would be necessary.

Yes. Not the friendliest of shapes, but this speaker is awesome. I put mine up on a wall mount above and behind the TV, as it was too bulky for the entertainment center cabinet, and I actually prefer the sound with it there.

No. The cord is long enough that you can lay your phone on the same surface as the speakers. I also have an Otterbox.

No. The speaker is actually right under the screen and facing directly forward.

They have tweeters that you can aim back toward where you sit. I have mine on the left/right walls too. Make sure you have a center channel and you'll be fine.

I have used ours in various positions for several months now. I can't see that standing on its side would affect the sound, but it might fall over if you don't support it somehow.

If your preferring to the earphones turning sideways so you lay them face down I don't know I threw in the back of my cabinet
