Maggies a waste if only 3' from backwall?
James Tanner (Bryston pres) found 3ft to be the perfect distance from the front wall, and said they sounded best in his smallest demo room. I agree. Biggest reason is because Magnepans are perfect nearfield speakers(maybe not the 3.6/20.1). 
Speaker Bass
spikes, the more you raise, the less boom. Same as if moving them further away from walls. 
2 subs?
Just put the single sub in the center between the 2 mains. Move the gear to a corner. Your sound will improve 10 fold

If you want to get your moneys worth, buy some good hi powered amps that are stable to the drivers ohm ratings 
Trying Magnepans, need advice
Nearfield Magnepans is where its at. An incredible sound. 
Speakers that disappear
Funny, your description pretty much explained Magnepans. Add a sub, that will make both the Magnepans, and Logans anything but lifeless.(specially the 1.6's that already have hot tweeters.) 
Magnepan for a small room
Well, Magnepans will never put out to much bass in a small room, isnt gonna happen unless you like lean sounding speakers. Also Magnepans sound awesome in nearfield listening. The only issue is possibly taming the tweeter, which is easy to do with... 
Best speakers for about $2000 a pair
Id buy the Ascent i's 
Maggies a waste if only 3' from backwall?
Ive owned Magnepans, Logans, Quads, and love planars. The focus 20/20's had a relaxed sound that reminded me of them. They also thre as large if not larger sound. They are in a box, but for me, the smoothest box speakers Ive ever heard. All my fri...

01-28-10: AudioconnectionThe biggest mistake with Magies is some just folks dont realize that simply installing the correct resistor for the tweeter output for the given room is a must.When properly adjusted with either nothing,a 1/2 ohm a 1.2 ohm... 
Maggies a waste if only 3' from backwall?
First off, Ive had no problems with 3 ft from the front wall with my 1.6's(40")I'll also say they have a wide sweet spot, providing your not going to use a 1 ohm resistor(muffles, dulls, and ruins sweet spot width). Most people don't understand Ma... 
Magnepan for a small room
My opinion, you need a sub in any room, with any Magnepan short of the 3.6. 
KLH speakers. Your opinions wanted
Best buy sold KLH aroun 96-98. They were never as good as the Cerwin Vegas next to them. Thety were like $250 pr for the 15" driver versions if I recall. 
Is a Sub worth the bother?
If you dont run a sub, you better have some 10", 12", etc drivers in your mains if you want true live sound. The new speaker building idea is to make skinny speakers. This is for WAF, and causes us to use subs. Bring back the 12" drivers! Subs can...
