suspending monitors from the ceiling


I have a pair of Canton 9k reference speakers in piano black and I  was thinking of suspending them in space via the ceiling.

If this setup sounded good someone would already be doing it. So would this setup mess up the sound ? How? What could I expect sonically? What problem would have to be overcome? 

thanks for you thoughts

You would have to suspend them on really strong wire and have them at head height when you are sitting or your steareo presentation would be all over the place. Also because of the size of them you would need a couple of Sus to fill in the bass from about 60hz down . I had a friend who did that in the eighties with a pair of Quad 57s and the results were amazing but he had a couple of subs for the lowest octave.Absoloutely no colouration from being off the floor and an ethereal quality from theis setup. Good luck.
