    I intend to do a similar thing, except I'll extend the Maggies' top with a couple of steel bars and attach them firmly to the ceiling.

    I have a 80's classic house where they went nuts over sunken living rooms and such, so the bars will actually anchor onto a wall, not a ceiling, and that wall has little chance of getting hit with sound waves, etc.etc.etc.

    When playing my 3.6R’s at about 69-70db they have a tendency to vibrate as the bass rolled off, the sound from vibrating can be very irritating to the ears.

    To correct the problem I had some cherry wood extensions made a bit larger than my 3.6R’s side rails (can’t even tell the difference), and attached them to a steel I beam joist above the speakers. I also had some steel plates made to fit over the feet to attached them to the carpeted cement floor.

    It would take an earthquake to move my maggies, and has fixed all problems associated to the vibrating issue.

    Here's an interesting thing to try with Maggies.

    Mount a couple of small screw-eyes on the top corners of each speaker and a matching pair into the ceiling directly above. (You'd have to catch a ceiling joist.) String some 1/8" poly line or equivalent and tension it enough to stabilize the speaker but not actually lift it off the floor.

    The spouse acceptance factor would probably be pretty low, and of course you'd have a few holes in your ceiling, but I would think it'd work pretty well.

    Anybody tried that?

    Regards.

    Davey.
