hanging a speaker

At some point, I will want to replace my center speaker with B&W HTM2 center. What can I use to suspend it from the ceiling with as little damage to the speaker as possible?

When you mount a bracket on a speaker, you have to open the cabinet usually by removing a driver to determine the cabinet thickness. Often the screws will be longer than the cabinet walls are thick. If the screws are longer than the cabinet thickness and you can't use shorter screws, then you need to locate an area for mounting the brackets so that the screws will not damage drivers, crossovers, wiring.

Why not use threaded rods and make a shelf instead of connecting something directly to the speaker? It will probably sound better too. I used to have one myself. The speaker's not too heavy. You shouldn't have any problems making it work.

It's called bolt stock.
