Speakers hung from ceiling on aircraft cable.

Back in 1985-1987, I suspended my small Polk Monitor 4As. I used a finished wood base, with 3 brass eyescrews, just bigger than the speaker base. I used black nylon braid fishing line to a brass ring; brass chain to a ceiling hook into the ceiling joists. I had use lateral black line to keep from twisting.

it sounded VERY GOOD! I used a passive subwoofer. 

Imaging was first rate. A very open, spacious sound. 

@chorus...and a Good Thing that likely was. 👌

Re Newtons’ 3rd; his apple only fell down. Driver cones, back and forth.
Even with varying fq, there’s cancellation there. *s*

richopp, actually the imaging isn’t lost entirely, since it’s into a closed space vs. say, an outdoor venue. For some ’quiet’ evening work, it certainly exceeds the typ. ’job site boombox'....;)

Either a cd into the player or Spotify from the cell, the receiver with an old SAE 2 channel parametric into the ’arrays’...’pause’ for machine noise....

It may not be ’phile, but it’s not so bad...and spl is Not an issue. *G*

@jrwaudio....only if the hooks go to harnesses....his 'n hers....;) *L*

Not long after I first met spouse, she moved into an apt. that featured 2 h.d. eye lags into the ceiling....

We looked.
We looked @ each other.
We laughed...and said, 'nah'.
"It'll be some years before we're 'up' for That."

Still 'not there'...she's acrophobic, and I'm not a fan of moving targets...;)

I have done this with my Dolby Atmos height speakers and it works like a charm.
i used 1/16” SS cable with eyes screwed into cabinets and ceiling. Find the balance point, use 1 eye top of speaker and 2 at the bottom.
works great !

David you are right and you will be absolutely fine. I would do it with just one chain per speaker sized so the speakers hang at ear height.
Even if you did not cross out at 100 Hz you would be fine. The mass of the cone assembly is far less than the rest of the speaker. Imaging will be just as good as if they were on stands and because you are crossing out at 100 Hz distortion levels in the little woofer will drop considerably. It should make a wonderful office system, a lot better than the two Sonos speakers I use.
