JBL 2384 has «toe down».
Is it possible to use it vertical inwall to get toe-in?
I know i get a narrower sweet spot with less even off axis repsonse. But i like them with toe in to get a deeper soundstage. I move from dedicated listening room to an appartement and will build a wall with TV, bookshelf etc. Then the 2384 must be flush/soffit mounted In the shelf. The ceeling has 60 mm absorbers over the thin planks. The wall left for the small window will have a TV/Hifi/book shelf who is 3,6 meter wide. The wall is 5,4 meter wide. We will have big fat thick rug in front.
This is just to show how the horn is designed. My plan is to tilt it 90 degree.

If you are not going to use toe-in, turning the horn 90 degrees would reduce the sweet spot, as it's vertical dispersion is only 20 degrees up, 30 degrees down, most of the response hitting your floor and ceiling.
Why not toe in the 2384 in standard configuration behind the flush/soffit mount?
Plenty of room to toe the horn in even if the woofer cabinet isn't, no extra depth required, as (poorly) illustrated above.

There won't be much of a "sweet spot" unless the vertical horns were very near each other, and you were seated center at quite a distance.
