Is my room OK for Magneplanar 3.6's

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.

I would like to know what size room do the people who say no have ? what is the ideal size then ?

Good idea to consider a near field listening solution with those in this room.

It'll work but practically big maggies with a sub is probably overkill. Go with the smaller mmgs and save money and provide yourself the most flexibility in setup as needed.

Thanks again for all the help. At the dealer I heard the Mags 1.7 and 3.6 in a room about the size of my room (but I have more walls surfaces). I sat where I would sit in my room, and I had the speakers separated as if they were in my room. Maybe it's just my ear -- or maybe it's because I was a professional musician in a past life -- but I felt I needed more detail than I heard on the 1.7 and I felt the 3.6 was closer to what I used to love about my Mag Tympanis (also from another life).

That's 3 votes for MMG.

Ld, you are a former timpani owner, eh? Well, you should know you've got your work cut out for you getting large panels into your listening space.

I'd set one panel on side of the listening space. Kind of like HUGE open air headphones. You won't believe what you hear. Detail? yep. Impact at even lower levels? for sure.

Listen in the extreme near-field and you can get away with it....maybe.
