Is my room OK for Magneplanar 3.6's

I would say go for it, although if you are new to Mags you may want to just start with 1.6 or 1.7 and move up the line if you feel you want more. Your room can work for either IMO, you may not get the most out of them but they are still going to be better than most box speakers in their price range. I often listen to mine against the back wall with a few inches of toe in and they are thoroughly enjoyable.

Agree with Magfan, espicially in light of the subwoofer. The little guys are much easier to work with in a smallish room and the JL should round out the borrom end very nicely. I (sometimes) use MMGs with a pair of Rythmik subs and the result is absolutely wonderful.

I would like to know what size room do the people who say no have ? what is the ideal size then ?

Good idea to consider a near field listening solution with those in this room.

It'll work but practically big maggies with a sub is probably overkill. Go with the smaller mmgs and save money and provide yourself the most flexibility in setup as needed.

Thanks again for all the help. At the dealer I heard the Mags 1.7 and 3.6 in a room about the size of my room (but I have more walls surfaces). I sat where I would sit in my room, and I had the speakers separated as if they were in my room. Maybe it's just my ear -- or maybe it's because I was a professional musician in a past life -- but I felt I needed more detail than I heard on the 1.7 and I felt the 3.6 was closer to what I used to love about my Mag Tympanis (also from another life).
