If you punch someone standing on the ground firm, you will have more impact that if you were on ice skates. Similarly if your speaker is going to impact sound correctly, it cannot move back with every hit. This will not work, without hurting the sound.

I have to admit though, this is the first time I've seen a reference to the physics of martial arts used as an analogy to the pistonic effects of driver movement on a free-hanging mass!
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.
SF
For your further consideration...

It doesn't seem related to the thread.
It's basically ad copy for a product called the "Recoil Stabilizer" (sic) that's made to decouple studio monitors from production desks.
It's much different from the idea of "rigid coupling" that you were previously referring to.

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.
Although the exposed Nautilus tweeter module could pose problems, does it have a grill?
I understand your preference for a more rigid mount, but think of it this way: Trying out the bag approach costs you very little, besides the time it takes to drill a couple of holes.
There is also a surprising range of adjustment available by placing the speaker at different angles in the net bag.
I'd go for the cotton, for a more natural presentation.
SF
But yes - the tweeter has its grill (as stated - they are in mint condition, hence I don't want to do anything that will in any way leave a mark).
I've heard a number of suspended installations & will say that some were just fine from a sonic standpoint - I'm just not wild about it on an aesthetic standpoint for a small loudspeaker.
And... for the sake of experiment, I may well try out the bag or netting idea. In this case, I'd likely go with some form of black, very wide mesh netting.
My bad, thought it had the exposed tweeter chamber... Was thinking that the netting might rub against the dome.
Good luck.
SF
Matrix 805 still has the "tweeter on top," so I'm still rather concerned about finding some form of netting that would have or allow for cutting a big enough gap for the tweeter module.
Do appreciate the ideas though!
