Is my room OK for Magneplanar 3.6's

Magnepan's are best in a rectangular room, and one larger than yours. I would speculate that you will have some strong room modes with any speaker that has any bass output. One wall where the dimensions are 15L by 15W by 15H will create a big problem.

Do you have a system in this room now? If so, how does it sound to you? I would think a pair of small 2 way stand mounts would offer a better match to the space.

I had ADS 810's in there before. Sounded fairly good. Then I put in Gallo Micro Ti's with a Gallo TR3 sub and that sounds also fairly good. The other speaker I was considering -- and clearly a whole different experience - was either a B&W CM8, CM9 or maybe 804D. Any ideas whether these would work in this space? Thanks again.

Laurence:I only said you were pushing the room size because I am writing with some experience using maggies. I purchaed my first pair in 1986 the MG III from a very famous audio salon in NYC. When delivered the tech took one look at the room for set up and asked me did you tell tem what size room 14x12.5 these were going into. I then and there knew I made a purchase Boo Boo. Well with thegrace of God and allot of work by him and mer later I got them to work well enough to listen but not enough for total enjoyment. I finally sold them and bought a pair of proac super tablettes and I was very happy. Then of course I did what some men do when emotions hit them on the head for the 2nd time. I married the same woman twice. I bought the MG IIIA speaker s and took another stab. Well it didn't work the first time what made me think the second time around would? So there you have it. And if you think maybe I didn't have the gear to get the best out of them. Heres the list. Goldmund TT and arm,Koetsu,AR sp-8 pre,AR 79B amp and MIT music hose with all silver wire from Mark levinson. So please look for a speaker that will compliment your room and be happy.

Then it would help to know what you perceive deficient with your current speakers and what areas you are seeking improvement. Do you want more bass, better bass, better definition, more detail, less glare, better soundstage?

Then again maybe just different from what you currently own which is valid as well.

I empathize, since my room is even smaller than yours. Have you considered the Mini Maggies? At the introduction, people were comparing them favorably to the 20.1's, and rumor has it they'll finally be out in January. I'll be given them a listen myself.
