Anyone installed SR ART system w/ medium maggies?

I actually have the new basik system, but setup is the same I think. I have 1.6s. Instructions say 6-8" above the tweeter or 3-5 feet up the wall for the vibratron (or basik satellite in the same position). Not sure which is correct... but with 1.6s, 6-8" above the tweeter is quite a ways up the wall! The satellites are supposed to be several inches higher than that and the rear satellite even higher.

The other issue is... to the right of the room, right smack in the first reflection point is a very large window with plantation type wood blinds and a heavy curtain. Not sure how to go about mounting the satellite there?

I wanted to ask here first before calling Ted and Elliot and bugging them, I know they are busy!

Thanks Ted!

I moved the satellite to 55" and moved the bass station closer to the wall (had it too far out). I'll play with the one behind me tomorrow.

How high up on the side satellites? 6-8 inches above the 'main' one yes?

I'm going to have to make a home depot run and build a stand for one of the side satellites. This window runs from the speaker all the way to the listening position pretty much (yes... that's a bed in the photo!)

window w/curtain closed

window w/ curtain open

One more question.. because of the nature of the room.. the listening position is smack up against the wall... will this cause a need for additional adjustment or different placement?

Sorry for all the questions.. I suck at tweaking things :)

oh and in the first picture.. you can see a small whitish bit halfway across the curtain panel... that's a thumbtack placed at the first reflection point.
