When I take one speaker only (mono), and I put my ear in front of the hf driver (turned 90°), the sound is louder, clearer, and the hf are more present, than when I listen in a normal listening position.
Is it normal ?
Speaker sounding different when moving my head...

We need to know a few things about you NotreDame before our diagnosis can be completed:
1) what shape is your head?
2) can you describe, by use of a diagram, what head movements you make?
3) does your head sound different when you move your speaker around?
It is likely that my KVR comrade kbaccki's advice is correct.
But if you're willing to provide information to the above questions, we can be more sure that our diagnosis is the correct one (and also sell on your data).
Thank you.

This is normal, to some extent. Could be a design issue with your monitors though... I had the same issue (and design error in crossovers) with Wharfedale Diamond speakers, so returned them to the shop the very same day. Could not live with that.
Your speaker should be positioned in such way that your head is in direct line with the centre of the speaker. Turn the speakers so they aim directly towards you and don't shoot the sound to a point behind you or above you.
We discussed this before, NotreDame. Take your expensive loss with the Munroe eggs. Go shopping for better monitors (not perse expensive) and this time you know what to listen for.

1) I don't really understand your question, I have not a small head though.
2) Here is a draw where I try to make it clearer :
Remember that only one speaker is used.
So position 1 is normal position : sound "muddy"
Position 2 : louder, and clearer, but a lot more.

3) does your head sound different when you move your speaker around? : not really...
There is difference only when changing the angle of my head, but strangely moving the speaker does not make real difference.

Here I tried to simulate what I hear with an eq :
Here is what it sounds like with head in normal position in front of one speaker : http://picosong.com/v2Kh/
Here is with ear in front of the speaker : http://picosong.com/v2KA/

get a microphone and move it around your head while you talk.. listen to the sound as it changes.
the same shit happens when it's sound waves reaching your ears and your head moves.

Do they sound different when you put your hands over your ears ... like you're near the sea?

@NotreDame - sorry I was being naughty (although I like your drawing very much!).
Follow kbaccki, wickfut and BertKoor's advice.
