I’m about to change speakers in my bedroom system. Right now I have GR Research N2Xs and I upgrading to GR Research Studio Monitors, which have an OB tweeter.

I have only one place for the speakers to go (see pics ). With the N2Xs at Dannys suggestion I mounted the speakers upside down, which has worked well, sound stage is high but other than that sounds good.

Now with the new Monitors I will have 18”-20” from the ceiling to top of speaker. Should I hang the new speakers upside down or mount them right side up and put some acoustical treatment on the ceiling.

The trouble with trying both is I have to have a special bracket made for each way and don’t what to that if I don’t have to.

What about a ceiling mount like a ceiling fan for vaulted ceilings? That would let you  mount them right side up and get the tweeter a little farther from the ceiling.

How will that let them be lower, they can only be so far off the floor or we'll hit or heads on them. I can lower the present brackets another 3", which is the lowest practical hight.

I'd love to hear those N2Xs, tbh!

But looking at your space constraints, I'm thinking that maintaining the inverted orientation is probably your best bet, since the Studios are a fair bit larger than the N2X models, in both depth and height.
