Magnepan 3.6r's - are they to much for my room?

How wide are the actual panels on this speaker as measured in inches? Sean

PS... Tim, you'll need a tape measure for this : )

I agree with the above posts in the following respects:

Clear those babies away from the side walls or the tweeters are going to overwhelm the rest of the drivers.

Power to the people -- I had Bryston 7B-ST's putting nearly a kilowatt into the 4 ohm maggies -- and current is at least as important as wattage.

You will love them with jazz. I did. I only got rid of mine because I was losing my 24' wide room to make a couple of 12' wide rooms. And because my child is getting old enough that he posed a danger to their continued health and well being. Otherwise, I'd have kept them forever.

FWIW I always felt my Maggie 1.6s were too big for my 13 x 22 room, even with ficus trees to cut down the QR mid driver they seemed to have too much upper energy. Also the bass overpowered the room a little. I wished I had about 2' - 4' more width for optimal sound. I like my music loud so it may not be a problem in your set up if you do not feel the need for concert volumes, which the Maggies will achieve :)

I hope this helps.

Thanks for all your responses, although I believe the 3.6's will work, maybe I should consider the 1.6 instead.One thing that I have often thought is that I overpower the room with some of my larger dynamic speakers rather than using the brands smaller offerings. I don't want to keep doing the same thing.

Thanks for your comments! not quite sure what I will do yet.

You could also talk with your dealer about getting the 1.6 to see how well it works in your room and then possibly upgrading to the 3.6's later for the full value of the 1.6's, a lot of dealer will do this.
