i think i'd be scared to try that!
>So, if you're going to try anything that involves suspending
>components or speakers, good luck, and be careful!i was thinking it would be fun to try... hanging the speakers over a glass table or those antique ceramic pots i inherited... *grin* i might try it out before i do some remodeling to the house. nothing like drilling holes in a perfectly good ceiling...
