Is my room OK for Magneplanar 3.6's


Hi, The room is only 15 x 15 feet with a sloping ceiling from 10 to 15 feet high. If the speakers are 3 feet from the wall, I'm at the vertex of an equilateral triangle with the speakers 6-7 feet from me and about 5-6 feet from each other. Thanks. Laurence

Probably too small, especially being square. I have a pair of 1.6s in a 15 x 21 x 8 room. 6' off of the front wall, 30" of space between them and the side walls. My head position is 2' from the back wall. It sounds good, but not as good as when they were in a larger room. The back wall is key. They say 3' will do, but that is a stretch in the same way Magnepan claims that one can get away with only 50 watts or so. This is with wall treatment behind the speakers fwiw.
