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?

fwiw I thought my 1.6s sounded their best when using the rule of thirds in my 13 x 22 room, This means they were 7.3 feet from the back wall and 4.3 ft apart. The bass integrated with the midrange the best of any set up I have tried and the image was seamless all around and in between the speakers. I could not leave them that way because they were out so far but it sounded terrific! I ended up using the Cardas method which was a good compromise.

I hope this is of some use to you...
