Corner hanging speakers - okay? Weird?

hey!

im very close to buying a pair of acoustat monitor 4 speakers. i was hoping to remove the base with the amps and leave the amps on the floor. then i'd hang the panels in the corners of the room (8 1/2 ft ceiling) keeping them 3 feet away from rear wall and 3 feet away from side wall. they would then be angled downward to form a sweet spot around 15-20 feet away to my listening area.

is this a good idea? or have i finally crossed over the line?

thanks in advance.

Thanks, Dekay. I'll try and track something down. I have the off white fabric so it should work out. When I have them apart I might even use something like a Japanese print to re-cover. People always thought they were some type of panel (non audio type) anyway. Since they aren't for critical listening I'm not too worried about how different fabric will effect sound. Thanks.

The same effect as passing out and taking in the rest of the concert laying on the floor? :-)

Actually, come to think of it, the owners manual from my old SMGa's says that you can suspend the speakers from the ceiling. Once I repair them it might be interesting to try in the bedroom system -- good soundstage for listening while laying down in bed. Now, how do I ceiling mount the subs?

Dekay, I made concessions in the bedroom system in order to go all out, non-waf on my main rig. Seriously, having no footprint makes this worth trying. Maybe use some wire molding on the cables to keep it tidy looking. Since I haven't had any takers on the brand new SW102 subs that I bought by mistake, I have the makings of a potentially fun system that will appeal to the wife as well.
