I bought a home theater system and works great. The problem is that the speakers are a little bit tall and get on the way and they kinda cut into the image. Now, If I put them on their sides (horizontally), would that affect the sound experience? Thanks.

As long as you keep the mid-range at ear-hight, you should hear no difference at all ;o)
Good luck!

Hi. No ,the sound should be ok,as long as you have the speakers in a mirror image pair.You might find that the soundstage will change slightly because of the different radiation pattern of the speakers.Make sure they are elevated on metal stands so when you are seated the individual drivers are at ear level.If you can't elevate them because they will be too high ,you can use shorter stands and tilt the speakers up a bit from the front so that when you are seated the drivers will be at ear level. Actually this is a better arrangement because all the drivers will be at ear level.The bass driver may sound better because it has been elevated off the floor.

I should not make a difference. I have had my speakers both ways, and could not tell the difference

No, the sound will pretty much have the same effect as if it were upright.
