"So, yes... I agree that the optimal solution would likely be Sound Anchors stands away from room boundaries.
But that's not what the OP was asking for."
Actualy, I'm somewhat considering using stands (have Targets, not Sound Anchors) firmly mounted to the ceiling. My biggest dilemma is how to firmly mount the 805s to the stands.
I STRONGLY prefer a rigid mount to wire/chord/net suspension.
And also - the speakers will be well away from any room boundaries (with the closest boundary being approx 3 feet from the ceiling).
Rest of system will likely be Sony SCD-777es - VTL Ultimate - VTL Deluxe 120 mono amps.
If I can't find a way to mount them that really appeals to me from a sound & visual perspective, I just might hang my friggin' Soundlabs up there & call it a day.
