Speakers hung from ceiling on aircraft cable.

I hung my huge Cerwin Vega speakers with 1/4" steel anchored to  beams (4 straps per speaker!) on my ceiling! Sounded great and solid! When I sold my house the new owner wanted them and I sold them! They are still hanging 35+ years!Cheers!

One advantage to hanging the speakers is the ability to spin them around while playing stuff to get that Leslie organ speaker tone...not necessarily useful, but doable.

i have 4 bose 901's hanging with a chain that is used to hang a ceiling lamp!

There was a local winery that was operating a barrel room inside a quonset hut and they had a pair of decent sized (I forget the model) Magnepans suspended in the air at one end by bifilar cables so the audiophile owners could listen while working in the hut.

Didn't actually sound half bad....

Why would you want to ??
