Monitor change blocking speakers, possible options?

[GeorgeStorm]

Hi all,
I've recently changed to an ultrawide monitor, which means my speakers (pair of Edifier MR4s) are now partially blocked by it, with the top 'tweeter'(?) being behind the monitor.
I have seen some setups where people position their speakers on their side to avoid this kind of situation, would that in theory be a better option than having them partially blocked?
Longer term I don't see this being an issue as I'll change desk/setup at some point but at least for now.

Thanks,
George

Yess don't block a drive unit, it'll effect the sound. My standmount speakers are on some speaker stands next to the monitor, a few inches away.

I was leaning that way, having suddenly noticed the speakers being blocked but wasn't sure as it feels wrong seeing them on their side
