Leave them the way you have them. There's not really a benefit because setting a vertical speaker on its side will cause some phasing of certain frequencies, and that's not a good thing.

The only reason why you'll see monitors like the NS-10's on their side nowadays, is that that's how they were set up "back in the day" and all the pro engineers and producers got used to them that way. If the speaker was built to be stood upright, set it up that way. Some speakers are designed to be set on their side, though, in which case you would want to do that.

Orienting a speaker ina a manner that it wasn't designed for can produce all kinds of nasty artifacts. not least a total collapse of your stereo image..

if it sounds good it is good, as long as you know that you have control over the sound you can hang them upside down, have them horisontaly, verticaly, with the back against you, with a screwdriver in the tweeter etc. etc.
