Is my room OK for Magneplanar 3.6's


Hi, The room is only 15 x 15 feet with a sloping ceiling from 10 to 15 feet high. If the speakers are 3 feet from the wall, I'm at the vertex of an equilateral triangle with the speakers 6-7 feet from me and about 5-6 feet from each other. Thanks. Laurence

If you are going to listen 'near field' at low to moderate levels...than skip the big panels and get some MMGs. Same Magnepan sound and presentation....

My listening area is also wacky. 8 walls and a vaulted asymmetrical ceiling.
No 2 walls are the same length. But at least I was able tp get the speakers pretty uniformly into a short wall setup.

Sounds to me like you've already got your mind made up. Any chance in the future of having a larger space available?
No, unfortunately this is the only space I have to work with and it's where I listen to 90% of music when I'm home.
I would say go for it, although if you are new to Mags you may want to just start with 1.6 or 1.7 and move up the line if you feel you want more. Your room can work for either IMO, you may not get the most out of them but they are still going to be better than most box speakers in their price range. I often listen to mine against the back wall with a few inches of toe in and they are thoroughly enjoyable.
Agree with Magfan, espicially in light of the subwoofer. The little guys are much easier to work with in a smallish room and the JL should round out the borrom end very nicely. I (sometimes) use MMGs with a pair of Rythmik subs and the result is absolutely wonderful.
