suspending monitors from the ceiling

@big_greg

I did the same thing with my turntable back in the 70’s. There were never any skip, no matter how much partying was done. I’d do the same thing again if my TT didn’t weigh 125 lbs.

BTW, that streamer sounds very good when fed a good lossless file

I had a friend back in the day with four Bose 901's hung from ceiling, all four corners. Guy loved hard rock, metal played at extremely high volumes. Worst sound ever, all these other guys would love it, I'd be cringing.

The difference with hanging from ceiling vs any other isolation technique is you're essentially not coupling speakers or equipment to anything (other than fish line or whatever means you're using).  The wire or whatever may send some amount of vibration to joists, but this minimal at best. The greatest defect I can see is, you may want to couple speakers to floor to assist in bass control.

When I hung my cd players and transports from ceiling you could see slightest movement from players. This elicited an airier, more spacious and relaxed sound quality from this equipment. All manner of coupling to  platforms of various kinds could not reproduce these qualities. If I were running cd player or transport today, I'd continue with this.

Huh? Isolation & coupling are opposites. I always thought that you wanted to isolate speakers so you could hear the speaker itself apart from the floor, etc. IMO Something seems amiss in your thinking

Bad move.

So it seems there is some benefit or emphasis on some of the qualities of good sound by hanging speakers. Bass would be handled by subwoofers on the floor. The CD player is my main source.
