Logitech Z-5500 Question

So, I've noticed that a lot of you have the Z-5500 5.1 speakers. I've had them for a while, but I've recently moved and found myself with an inconvenient dilemma. With no wall to my left in a place where a speaker stand would be in the way all the time, I've determined that my only viable option is to mount my rear speakers to the ceiling.

Now, the stands they're on aren't meant for mounting on the ceiling. If you hold them upside by the ends with the screw holes, you'll see that they're terribly unbalanced. For wall mounting, the back end where the speaker connects to the stand would rest against the wall. On the ceiling, it'll just hang.

So before I attempt to mount my speakers to my ceiling, I want to ask.. has anybody successfully mounted Z-5500 speakers to the ceiling? Or, does anybody have some bright ideas for me?

 

They can easily be mounted to the wall. Rotate the stand and you'll see they are now parallel to the speaker then just screw in.

 

I know that, but I don't have a wall on my left to mount it to, that's why I'm trying to figure out if I can mount it to the ceiling without it breaking or falling on my head

 

Well if you just turn the speaker upside down and screw it in it'll be fine. Assuming you're screwing in to a beam and not plain dry wall.

 

Well, my concern is that it won't be fine. The weight will be on the two little feet type parts of the stand. On a wall, the weight would be supported by the stronger part. Even if I screw it to a stud, the stand may break easily. That's why I'm asking. It's not like I've never mounted speakers to the wall or ceiling. I'm just trying to figure out if anyone's ever done this with these speakers because I don't know if the stand is strong enough. I don't want them to break and fall in a few weeks or months.

If you don't understand what I mean, I'll take a picture of it or something.

 

Unless your speakers are knock offs mine are plenty strong. I just took mine and held it upside down and shook the hell outta them. Maybe you need to check the screw the holds it all together.

 

It's not that at all. Shaking isn't the issue. Hold them upside down by the two screw holes. You'll clearly see that the heavy back end is not level with the two feet. That means, when screwed into a wall, that weight will just be hanging there.
