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.

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
Schubert,

Do you mean that there is no way to "fill the room with sound and be unable to locate the speakers" or no way to use any sort of Maggies in a long narrow room?
Agree, those speakers will get "lost" in a room that size with very little bass.
MMG's have a very small "sweet spot" and require exact placement like 1/8" to get even that and you must be sitting as well.A BAD choice for room filling , long wall is OK .
They also are VERY inefficient and need a good 400 watts a side @4 ohms to be at their best.
They will sooner, or later, blow most amps not rated 2 Ohm stable as well. Been there, done that.
A fine speaker for what you want is Gallo CL-3 which Underwood Wally is selling for $999 on here now .I bought a pair of these and they are everything Wally claims them to be. A very good speaker not just for the money, but good period.
Ideal would be an Ohm 1000 but that will run you 2k.
