In Reply to: Which full-size Maggies are you considering ? posted by peppy m. on December 20, 2024 at 21:39:25:
My listening is 19-ft long by 15-ft wde, but there's a dining room and galley kitchen on the side. The kitchen is separated by a partial wall and a counter while the small dining room is completely open to the listening room. The ceiling goes from 8-ft high at the rear to 14-ft high at the front of the room. My speakers will be set up on the diagonal just like the Thiel's in the picture below, but they will be farther out into the room and farther apart. My sofa will be set up on a 45-degree diagonal facing the fireplace, TV and speakers. I think the room is large enough for the new Magnepan 3.7x speakers. The sofa in the picture below is gone completely, and I have a new sofa set up behind the black chair, which is also gone.

- Yes, the newer models use foil glued to the mylar instead of wires, called "quasi-ribbon". It's more reliable. - MWE 17:44:40 12/23/24 (3)
