Both Nylon (stretchy) and Dacron (3-4% stretch at about 50% breaking
strength I think) strap is available at marine supply stores in many colors.
The breaking strength of the one inch braid is ample for hanging the JBLs.
If you want a little margin, use one inch tubular braid, which has a
breaking strength of over 4000 lb, IIRC. We use it for jack straps on sail
boats, that to which you hook a tether to keep you on the boat in really
stinky weather. Cut a couple of pieces to go around the speakers plus
enough to go to your ceiling anchors. Have a sailmaker stitch an eye that
just fits around the speaker. A couple of screws through the braid in the
back can be used to adjust the angle.

That's what interns are FOR!

If you don't like the ladders, stacks of milk crates are another trick.
