I am going to be moving shortly, and have a slight problem...
I have room for my maggies, but am going to have an issue with the placement. The left speaker will be about 3-4 feet from a corner, while the right speaker will not be near a corner, but still the recommended distance from the wall.
The side wall will for all intents and purposes be in the null point of the speaker. But being they are a dipolar design, I belive that sound will be reflected off the wall, into the corner, and back to me from the left side.
I am afraid this will not work to my advantage to put it mildly.
I have never tried an arrangement in a room like this, and do not want to end up with a sonically worthless sound system.
I called Magnepan, but the tech support team is at a trade show this week.
This does not need to be resolved for several weeks, but am just looking for some good advice..
'problem' may be a non-starter. I have a pair of MG-1s which are positioned almost exactly as you describe. LH speaker 2ft from side wall and 2ft from backwall. RH speaker not near a corner, but a hall entry with 2ft to backwall, as the other speaker. Careful positioning is, as usual, the key to making these things work.
Jan's rite. Don't worry until you actually HAVE a problem. Worst case will be some room treatment to straighten up the asymetry.
I once had mine in a room so small I had to swap the Left for Right speakers to get them to sound good. The room couldn't have been more than 1000ft3. likely less.
