It would be nice if they had a model that would work about 3 feet from the wall, I got to try a pair of 1.7i, what a nice sounding speaker but to work their best they were out 6 feet into the room. (14x25x10)
I agree with jarcher. I've owned maggie 3 series a couple times. They sound great but who has a mansion or a wife that will put them way out in a room?! Put close to wall, enjoy and slide out into room for listening session if need be.
I think it becomes a question of where do the sound good VS where do they sound best?But there are alternatives for those who must place Maggies somewhat close to the front wall. Move them out for critical listening as mr_bill suggested, otherwise they should be fine closer to the wall for background/casual listening. Also, one can experiment with dispersion devices on the wall directly behind the speaker to minimize directly reflected sound.[Ill go with that...sounds good to me
With the demise of so many local audio stores, it is essential that people get a chance to hear speakers.
