This setup is absolutley amazing. I can't wait to get home and tweak it some more. Check out the AA link.

Bose 901 revisited. I'm not sure what turning them around does since they radiate both ways.

You can get some funny effects from Maggies. Try setting them up in normal manner, but then sitting directly in between the speakers. If you get your head in exactly the right spot it sounds like headphones.
The last time I heard 901's was at a friends apartment before my audio days. If 901's sound anything like the Rooze maggie setup I defintly need to buy a pair of 901's.

The best sound I have gotten out the MMG's before this was to put them in the corner of very hard room(hardwoods floors, no furniture)so that behind the speakers it goes back into a point which is the room's corner. That was great, this is incredable. If you have Maggies I encourage you to give it a try and then go to AA and thank Rooze.
As a long time Magneplanar fan, this is a little out there for me.

It would be very interesting to hear of other experiences if any of you are inclined to experiment.

What happens to the bass? In my experience, Magneplanars can have very good bass, but for me this has only happened with my back near the wall in front of the speakers and behind my chair.
