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?

If I tried suspending my speakers on cables from the ceiling my Wife would suspend me on cables with hooks on the ends!!
Newton, Sounds like a biblical story that apple. I read some where some one mess the whole world up by eating a apple. Just saying. :-)
I did something similar with a pair of Klipsch La scalas in college.  We hung the tweeter and midrange from the ceiling..  While imaging might have suffered (i dont remember nor did i care) it was AWESOME!  It made the speakers sound much bigger than they were and were so much fun.  

Bass will be fine since these don't go that deep anyway.  

There's often too much credit given to "imaging" on here.  Sometimes you just want good sound and you're not always sitting in that one sweet spot.  I think they'll sound great.
