suspending monitors from the ceiling

You would have to suspend them on really strong wire and have them at head height when you are sitting or your steareo presentation would be all over the place. Also because of the size of them you would need a couple of Sus to fill in the bass from about 60hz down . I had a friend who did that in the eighties with a pair of Quad 57s and the results were amazing but he had a couple of subs for the lowest octave.Absoloutely no colouration from being off the floor and an ethereal quality from theis setup. Good luck.

The problem with suspended speakers is the motors move the cabinets as well as the drivers, causing a form of Doppler distortion.  So, by no means ideal, but if that is what you need to do to enjoy music, do it.

I've heard of people doing it, recall one guy doing it with Merlin VSM. Try it and report on results. I used to hang my cd players and transports from ceiling, best isolation solution experienced vs.. many usual suspects. I'd like to try this with all my components,  simply don't have the capacity without tearing out drywall and hanging from joists.

The WAF has got to be off the charts with this idea. Are you single??? Or have a man hut? 😁

I was thinking of a thick plexiglass base anchored to joists suspended with a deep see transparent fishing line (you ever catch a tuna ) it would have no problem with the speaker weight.they could be hung at any level and would look cool in my eye two piano black monoliths floating in the air puttin out some beautiful sound, woooo. Erik so if there is a way to get the same effect as a floor stander has with the floor it might sound like it does on stands? Oh, I enjoy music in all its iterations I just thought it would look cool.
