Hi, I'm sure my question is a pipe dream but I'll give it a shot.
I bought the Athena Point 5 speaker set for my HT.

For the surround and rear satellites (roughly 7 lbs. each) http://www.athenaspeakers.com/s5specs.htm, I'm trying to avoid mounting them to the side and rear walls if at all possible. I was wondering if I could mount these from the ceiling. I know they are "wall mountable" but does that normally mean just wall or is ceiling typically possible? That's Question 1.

Question 2 is my ceiling (8 feet) is a drop ceiling with those white foam-core ceiling panels. Probably the standard panels (roughly 1 inch thick) you would order through Home Depot or a similar center. Is there any chance I could mount the speakers to those type of panels without having the panel collapse from the weight? I'm not even sure a screw would hold in the foam. Any way to reinforce the panel beforehand?

Thanks!

Some people has been able to mount a CRT projector from a ceiling, so I think it can be done. About the foam panel, I'm no expert but I believe people who have ceiling mount use a reinforced ceiling frame.

In ceiling speakers are not that heavy, I would check the weight of the speakers and see if the panels have a strength or load rating. However for proper surround sound, ceiling mounting would not be recommended.
