Classe CAP 2100 for Maggie 3.6?

funny thing about Maggies, the farther they are out into the room the more true low bass they have, 5 - 7 feet out would be great if you could swing it

I bet you would love them for what you need with 200 watts

though some have posted a bit of leaness with Maggies w/o subwoofer fwiw

Thank you for all the great insight.

Although the room is relatively large, I don't think I can place the speakers more than about 2 feet away from the wall. Maybe I can push for 3 feet. The room is currently dedicated as a "guest hearth room" and my-better-half will not agree on these speakers extended out 6 feet from the wall.
Do you think I will encounter significant acoustic problems/limitations?

Kimf70,
I have my 3.7's out 6 feet, as I did with the 1.6's they replaced. You can expect to loose some of the bass response at 3 feet, but its not like that is a complete show stopper in my opinion. Its like amplifier power-- less than optimal can still be pretty good. Its just that you know you can do a little better if you set them up optimally. Also, its not like the speakers weigh 500 lbs. You can slide them out a bit while listening, provided no one is watching. :) By the way, my wife prefers the look of Maggies to traditional box speakers. She says they look cool. So WAF is not always linear and predictable. With some effort (and money) one can decorate around the maggies and make the room look good even though they will inevitably be a focal point. You just can't make 6' tall monoliths disappear.

I found that the closer to the wall the bass becomes ill defined, you get more of a 'one note' bass and focus, imaging and depth of field are compromised for all frequencies.

My comments are in comparison with the absolute best placement.

Also the speaker is so darn good even less than ideal placement would still be very competitive with other designs.

I think you would still be happy with tone and they would be more than listenable, especially if the volume is not too high.

my two cents...
