Anyone install these in the ceiling, if so how do they sound? Also can the angle of the drivers be adjusted at all?

I had 2 of my speakers installed in the ceiling for my surround sound and they work great. Ours just come straight down and we had them professionally installed and didn't know to ask if the drivers could be adjusted.

Yes, I have installed them on the ceiling. Sounds great, is a good solution for a space of entertainment. You have to complement it with a good receiver, I recommend you Pioneer. The only bad thing is that the angle can not be adjustable. For example, I have done the false ceiling taking this in consideration, if you put it in a flat surface them you can not adjust the angle of the speakers.

None what so ever, I have mine in the basement under the kitchen in a joist cavity and no issues. You can always place a layer of bat insulation in the cavity to prevent further. There is not much bass generation mostly directional surround of mid's and tweets.

hey handle 120 watts each so I'd have a pretty awesome surround sound system to drive into them. I bought a yoga mat and cut a bucket shape around the back of them to baffle the sound in my ceiling they sound awesome

I mounted mine upside down from the ceiling in one of my RV compartments and they have been hanging there since I purchased them with no problems. You should be able to mount just about anywhere, any position. They are pretty much a sealed unit so opening may damage the speaker enclosure(not sure as I never tried).

No, you want your front speakers to be your ear level, same with center. I just installed these as a 7.1 set up. 4 in ceiling and the rest are up front on entertainment center. Think about your voice sounds coming from the top up in the ceiling, not nice.

I tried to search for pictures of the speakers trying to see how they look from behind but i couldnt find any. If you want you can send me a picture of your speakers from the back and I'll compare them to the mounts/brackets and see if they will work. My email is fredward321@gmail.com

It's a trade off. If you don't use your rear speakers you can use those for the ceiling speakers. At least that's the way it appears to me

Just installed with a pair of BS22s this evening. I used some Blu-tak to help hold the speakers to the base, and it seems to be holding just fine. I have them tilted as far downward as they will go, too.

What exactly is your question? I have a pair of these as rear surround mounted on the ceiling behind a couple of theater seats...they sound awesome..but i have a sub hooked up...ok from previous answers i gather you want to use them as rear speakers..not good idea..they are mainly surround speakers, so not very good bass response.

do the 'mods', i.e., at least remove the tweeters from the faceplates and seal them to the faceplates/tweeters mating surfaces with plumbers putty, and super glue each woofer cones' shield can to the baskets.damping these with 4" of rockwool bats behind the drivers an two inches on the rest of the interior surfaces (save for the duct exhaust areas) will yield hifi speakers on the cheap ;)

These speakers were designed for Surround sound. They come with picture like hangers for wall mounting. Or you could buy mounting brackets and hang them from a wall or fly them from the ceiling. They really should not be used as the main right and left speakers which is probably why you want speaker stands for these? I would buy tower speakers instead for left and right if you are going to waste the footprint space anyway and put them on stands. They are good sounding speakers, just not for what I think you intend?

If you would like to mount a small receiver for speakers then I would look at other mounting options specifically made for such purposes. Using the Hyloft ceiling storage kit would be overkill. Whether you like the look, would depend on your space. These look good in the garage; I would not, e.g. put them in my living or family rooms.

I hung mine from the ceiling using omni mount 10.0's. Sturdy mount and easy to adjust the aim or position of the speakers and lock them in place. If you want speaker stands, anything with a platform large enough for the speakers to fit on should be just fine.

The sound is awesome, just keep in mind that based upon the width you will need to install it parallel to the studs (joists?) in the ceiling or you'll need to cut the studs and frame it in if you need to go perpendicular.

easy adapto, is the style of these speakers, have inside holes for diferents positions, but ceiling in not the best side for the speakers, maybe you can get one position in the back wall.

My ceiling is tent-like. I have 2 speakers in each side for LF, RF and LR and RR surround. The tweeters do swivel. The sound is fabulous. Good luck.

We set ours up from the beginning in the vertical and they have been a big improvement over not having a sound bar. Never having tried them horizontally, we can't give you accurate information on the comparison. Sorry.
