Am I crazy????? Try THIS


So my friend needs stands for his book shelf speakers. We can't find any in my little town. I had an idea, HANG THEM!!! They sound so much better. Why? Before you get crazy we didn't have to drill the cabinets or anything we just built a "harness" of sorts. It looks somewhat different, but for about $11.75 we hung both his speakers with braided wire and some eye screws etc. And they sound better to me. Anyone done this?

Don't forget that there are two things you can do with speakers and floors: couple and decouple. It all depends on the underlying floor material, room acoustics, speaker characteristics etc.
RF, I hung a cd player some years ago from my ceiling, at the time I thought the sound was better than any other placement. I remember reading some years ago that using monofilament fishing line was the best material for hanging, very interesting!
I hung some old pioneer speakers I bought mail order. but later it was proved they were innocent. It was the amp!
In live sound they hang speakers all the time. It tends to be one of the best ways to mount speakers.
