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.

viridian, that cracked me up. i'd do it too but i think very quickly my friends would have an intervention... something they've been threatening to do behind my back for a while now. if they all came into my room for a 'chat' and i had those things strapped to my head there really wouldn't be anything left to say or do except to start sobbing, give in and accept the help that was being offered to me.
jim, too funny.

i thought i was on to something here. back to the drawing board. i dont think i can really fit the acoustats in my room and get the right sound. sean, interesting comment about the sway factor. that's the end of my other idea which was to just hang them at eye level. the bass would've been handled by a sub.

dekay i KNEW you were going to respond in this thread because i knew that if anyone had actually gone through with an idea like this to test out the sound you were the guy.

cornfed, i have to admit you're right. the line...i can barely see the line from where i am. i remember not too long ago i was cracking up reading a thread about hanging amps and preamps. now i'm emailing those people asking what kind of wire they used. the end is near. the horror.
