Ceiling mount HTM 200

[Alspoll]

I am considering purchasing this speaker to use on a 7.1.4 configuration. I am looking to ceiling mounting them horizontally but am concerned about the weight of the speaker hanging done using the threaded inserts that are off center.

I would prefer not to screw screws into the back.

Is it possible to order these speakers with an additional set of inserts on the opposite side so there are 4 inserts equally spaced?

TIA

I personally think that putting screws in the back would be acceptable considering your goals.
The HTMs are reasonably priced compared to ceiling speakers.
How long do you plan to use this set up?
Of course, getting Ascent to install extra inserts would be so fine. Let us know.

Thanks for the reply.

This would be a long term set up.

I figured I would not have to mar the speakers just in case they ever get re-purposed or if there is ever an unfortunate need for repair.

With the inserts already placed, I can also, if necessary re-position them with messing up the back of the speaker.

As an aside, is there any concern with supporting the speaker using just the insert horizontally? Is there too much down force that could potentially pull the thread insert out?

TIA,
