Magnepan 20.7 - Ten Feet or More Into a Room?

Polling Magnepan users with larger rooms; assuming that the overall room length allows it (and a dedicated listening room), do you think 20.7's can go as far as 10 to 12 feet off the front wall and still work well? At that distance from the front wall can they still fill the space behind the speaker and produce a convincing sound field?

When I did my room, my architect contacted an acoustic engineer who suggested room dimensions of 1.6 x ceiling height by 2.6 x ceiling height. It's a great sounding room. If you narrow your planned width by just a bit, you'll be right on top of those ratios.

You might also consider 2 more subs. Check out the Swarm subwoofer array from audio kinesis for the logic behind this approach.

Good luck with your project
