Never seen speakers pointing down. Also, you don't want the speakers touching the wood. It creates a resonance that you don't want. There is a few products out there for that but I just use some bubble rap. Works just as good.

hmm... bubble wrap... interesting. I'll try that. But most of the studios I've been at have had the speakers angled towards the mixer, to some degree.
