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

I was thinking of a thick plexiglass base anchored to joists suspended with a deep see transparent fishing line (you ever catch a tuna ) it would have no problem with the speaker weight.they could be hung at any level and would look cool in my eye two piano black monoliths floating in the air puttin out some beautiful sound, woooo. Erik so if there is a way to get the same effect as a floor stander has with the floor it might sound like it does on stands? Oh, I enjoy music in all its iterations I just thought it would look cool.

Just a space cowboy bet you weren't ready for that lol  and imagine if they are self powered no F in cables, speakers just floating in air, I can hear em playin Hendrix Jamin  Poli Gap,  Woo. 

I just wanted to complement my deprivation tank that was outfitted with some inwall speakers by having a second system that is more open and airy. 

So it seems there is some benefit or emphasis on some of the qualities of good sound by hanging speakers. Bass would be handled by subwoofers on the floor. The CD player is my main source. 

Mijostyn Thanks for the history I think with the right speakers, and sub it would look cool two black monoliths appear at distance to be floating in the air and if they can be made to sound great why not.
