Magnepan speaker set-up

Would one get good results from suspending a mmg or a 1.6 from the ceiling, away from the back wall(for HT application). Do these speakers need to be securly planted like cone speakers to get the most benefit?

Suspending them is not a good idea if you are interested in extracting the best from them. The Magnepan owner's forum has more info about better stands that improve on the flimsy factory feet.

Look at my review of the Myesound stands for upgrade in sonic performance that is hard to believe.
