Speakers hung from ceiling on aircraft cable.


Opinion question:

We are thinking of suspending a pair of KEF LS50 speakers from the ceiling using aircraft cable. Do you think having them not rigidly mounted will diminish bass? Will the woofers cause the speakers to move?

Basically they will be "near field" monitors around my work desk.  I have a couple of powered KEF woofers too.  I think the LS50 are so massive compared to the driver there will be no issues.  Plus I cross them over at 100hz.

I've seen the 'cube in cube' suspended speaker DIY.  At least paint or 'grain' the pipes to cover the f'n labels, Chuckie....*damn*...lame....

I'd be more impressed if they were hypercubes....;)
Many a pair of Bose 901s were suspended by 4 chains per from the ceiling. Much cooler than the pussified tulip stands of the day.
Funny now I quite like the tulips. 
Problem was the 901s still did not sound that great so after a few months I moved on to the Corner horns. They were not on chains.
