If you tilt the Forte III speaker back, you lose one of the main advantages of horns, controlled directivity which delivers more of the original signal to the listener's ears. Horns pointed directly at the listener's ears eliminate spurious wall and ceiling reflections which are problematic with direct reflecting speakers.

(The Forte III speaker was designed to sit level on the floor and not tilted back - loss of aesthetic appeal - would look like a car lifted in front with a floor jack.)
