If you can put them against the 10 foot wall definitely go for it.
I run 3.7’s in a 13x17 room with them placed along the 13’ wall 32”-36” out and angled slightly toward seating position. Seating position is a unilateral triangle with the speakers. Electronics are on the outside with 2 rel s510’s between the speakers. Both front and back walls are treated with sound absorption. I spend hours in bliss amazed at the sound, soundstage and clarity. Have listened to systems at dealers costing north of 6 figures and, to my ears, don’t think I would do an even swap. Good listening.
Any Present Magnepan 3.7i owner using them in a smaller listening space...
I am contemplating the purchase of the 3.7i's however I have a smaller listening space. My space is approx. 10-ft in width by approx.14-ft depth (the space is open behind the listening position). The most distance I could put the 3.7i's out from the front-wall would be about 3-ft. If any of you 3.7i owners are working with a smaller listening space, can you offer some recommendations as to how you got your speaker placement to work ? As I understand it, Maggies in general need to be placed out notably from the front wall to give them room to "breathe".
Any experience or recommendations would help me in deciding to purchase or go another route. Thanks !
