Upside Down Speakers?

[mexican equivalent]

When I set up my 5.1 speaker system, I had the rear satellite speakers
literally hanging upside down.

Are there any potential pitfalls from the upside-down satellites? Is
this practice considered perfectly acceptable?

I made similar installation just yesterday when I hanged my surround channel
speakers by metalwire from roof. I found this better solution since did not
want
to drop speakers all the way down to get tweeter right high. Also I made
connects
to bottom part of speaker so it is not visible if I decide to bring speakers
down for
normal stand use.

I guess its not really that important in surround channel since it should
not be that
accurate by stereoimage and localization.

someone who knows better could tell opinions as well.

Does it sound good?

If the rear speakers sound good, it's fine. Since the rear speakers are
probably small and don't have that wide a range, you don't have to worry
so much about low end response issues from the ceiling corner (which are
in fact the same as the low end response issues from the floor corner when
speakers are placed very low to the ground), or making sure that the
tweeter is right on-axis with your ear.

In my case situation is much more same that with front speakers that are
lower, nearer floor
while surround speakers are nearer roof. it also looks better this way :)
What do you think about using this wire to hang speakers? These Tannoy
reveal box does
weight that much so it wont vibrate the wire at all and now there is very
small footprint (on roof).
