MMG Placement


I am considering taking advantage of the trial offer on these speakers. I have owned larger Maggies before. Amp will be Adcom GFA-555 with matching preamp.

My question is placement in my 13x22x10 ft room. One end is a glass slider with plastic vertical blinds. The other end is open to the kitchen above 4 ft. Floors are laminate. Seems like placement should be along the long wall, but how far in front of the wall given the narrow 13 ft width? Also, how long a cable run is reasonable?

Other furniture in the room includes 9x10 L-shaped couch, recliner chair, computer table and TV stand. I can't see a way to sit in the sweet spot, so my goal is to fill the room with sound and be unable to locate the speakers.

If there is a way to attach pictures, I have some of the bare room.

These might not be the best choice for you as your permanent speakers. I would ask Magnepan about the set up if you want to try them anyway. I had a similar situation with different speakers and settled on bring them out only 2 feet into the room.
My intention if these work out is to upgrade to the next step in the Maggie line within a year, but the problem of distance from the wall in a narrow room remains
