Suspended cables

Hi folks,

Still a bit of a newbie here.

I have gained an understanding of the reasoning behind keeping speaker cables off the floor.

So ...,

Each of my mains have a 1.5 meter cable connected to it’s own monoblock. The monoblocks sit 26" above the floor and nearly level with the speaker terminals. Speaker to monoblock distance allow the cables to be suspended completely from the floor in a loosely hanging arc (about 8" above the floor).

Is this better than using cable risers? 
Are there any reasons not to do this? Stress on connectors? Bad for cables?

Thanks all!

Problem solved!  Already have a few plant hanging ceiling hooks in place.Will grab some monofilament.

@Mahgister - I was just thinking the same thing.  Will likely not bother with monofilaments.

@Millercarbon - Yes, very cool setup!  Lots of it still way over my head but very cool! Been taking your advice in some of my setup.  Not complete yet.  Yeah, I know it never will be. 

Guess I meant awaiting remaining "core" components because,... 

Still waiting on Swarm delivery! 

Will provide updates on this unusually small listening room setup.  Swapped in 3 different subs.  Did the crawl method with each. Results were satisfactory at best with one of the subs and in just ONE tiny listening location in the room.

Thanks again everyone for responding!  Reading these threads are always educational and entertaining (certainly never dull!).

Hoping to be able to contribute soon.  Soon as I know what the heck I'm talking about!
