I am setting up my studio in my loft - yep, im getting booted upstairs! and so was wondering whether it would be a bad idea to hang my hs80's from the ceiling? Is that bad for bass frequency response - or, on the otherhand, is it better for getting a true bass response?
Cheers!

So to that end it may play out well, but it sort of depends how close they are hanging to ear level as well.
