I've used planar type speakers for over 40 years, so I'm very aware of the issues with setup and room. Currently using Maggie 1.7i's in a 22' x 16' room with a 9' ceiling. generally it sounds very good. I also have a large(ish) TV (65") in between the speakers. The TV being there is a BIG influence on the sound stage and image focus. I have a very thick soft wool type blacket, doubled over, which I drape over the TV when critical listening, and when used the result is not subtle. I've demoed it several times to audiophile friends and they all hear the improvement it brings, instantly.
My theory is that the sound bounces off the wall behind me, then forward to the TV and then back to me, and the 'blanket' reduces that secondary reflection so one hears the direct sound from the speakers more prominently. It works, and very well, for me.
