I have a mint pair of B&W Matrix 805 speakers that I'd quite like to use in my shop. Unfortunately, I run into 2 issues:
1) The best way I could arrange them would be mounted/hung upside down from the ceiling.
2) Unlike the Nautilus 805, the Matrix series has no screw mounts on the bottom.
Since I REALLY don't want to ruin the pristine black veneer on this pair, I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to economically & securely hang these without damage?
