Hi all,
Can the CBM-170SE speakers be used as Atmos speakers if mounted on the ceiling facing down(ish)?
Also what ceiling mounts are recommended?
Thanks

I'd go with the HTM-200 SE since it is sealed and has extremely wide dispersion. The rear port on the CBM is going to cause trouble with ceiling mounting. I'd use the omni mount on the Ascend store page.
EDIT: I previously linked some wall mounts on Amazon, but after looking at them, they are only rated up to 10 pounds, and the HTM-200 SE is about 10 pounds, so I'd definitely go with the omni mount, as it is much sturdier, although a bit pricey, it would be worth the money knowing your speaker is secure.

Thanks Dave! Got my HTM-200 SE a few days ago and I absolutely love them! It is incredible how great they sound for the money. They are so much better than the Klipsch R-15M speakers they replaced that I can't even listen to them anymore, they'll likely get donated now. Makes me very excited to order my Sierra Sats, can't even fathom how great they're going to sound in surround duty with my towers.
Go with the HTM-200s. I posted some info on how to flush mount them with massive overkill.
Thanks all, I ordered 2 sets of 200's.
Finally got my Atmos HTM-200's up. Here are some pics:

Sorry, couldn't insert pictures because the site gave me some kind of temporary file error. Hopefully you don't need to have a dropbox account to see these..
