I will tag ppl who own the Sonodyne 3540 as heights.. @RajithKumar , @sriram_shol .. Hope they reply here..

Mounting a BS speaker to ceiling, will demand speakers with thread hole mount and compatible ceiling brackets..

Don't know your budget.. On the inexpensive side is Polk OWM3.. They have this provision, so easier to mount..

Hi @Love4sound, I am using SONUS 3540 as heights for my Atmos setup. It sounds great and I get 85% Atmos experience from mine (You get 100% realistic effect in the ceiling mount). SONUS 3540 has a sensitivity level of 85 dB & impedance is 8 Ohms, but as yours is 2400 receiver, it will drive 3540 effortlessly. It has a key hole slot and I wall mounted using the same. It comes with wall mount bracket installable from the sides.

I am not sure about the Sonodyne showroom in Chennai for audition but Polk OWM3, you could go to ProFX.

@RajithKumar - Please share your experience from your installation

Thank you so much. This gives me some confidence in getting the Sonus. Have you heard Polk owm3. If you have which one is better?. And what is the cost of both the speakers

I have not heard OWM3 before in person. I bought the SONUS from the forum member a year back. I am happy with it. I guess the new SONUS pair costs Rs 14,000/-

I would still recommend you to see and hear Polk OWM3 in ProFX and take a fair decision after a side by side comparison on basic parameters like better sensitivity, better impedance, watts, mounting options, price over the other.

Yeah but Sonus comes along with mounts for ceiling so I am considering

 

[sriram_shol]

These are possible mounting options provided by OWM3.

Ok thanks for the response. Have u installed them on concrete ceiling? If so how? And also can you post images if u don’t mind just to get an idea

 

[sribuddy]

Yes on concrete cieling only. There are speaker mounts available for owm 3. Google for perlesmith speaker mount in amazon.com. I use similar ones.
