As a long time Magneplanar fan, this is a little out there for me.

It would be very interesting to hear of other experiences if any of you are inclined to experiment.

What happens to the bass? In my experience, Magneplanars can have very good bass, but for me this has only happened with my back near the wall in front of the speakers and behind my chair.

I noticed the pictures of your listening room from before.

Perhaps you can post a photo of the new Rooze configuration for us to see?

Also, do you have any experience with Maggies having better bass when your back, as listener, is up against the wall?

If so, what happens to the bass when you are out in the middle, floating in this direct/reflected sea of sound?

Still curious, but confused.

Looking at your diagram with the conventional setup, I would have predicted thin bass?

Maybe its just me, or maybe I like boomier bass than most panel fans, but I always preferred the sound with my listening chair pushed up against the rear wall. Otherwise, things always sounded a bit thin to me.

This has been true with MG1Bs, MGIIs, MGIIIs, and my latest Typmani IVas.

Therefore, would appreciate any thoughts on this for both the traditional orientation and how this might change in the Rooze configuration.

Also, when seated in the Rooze configuration, does this reverse left and right?

For proper imaging "projected" against the new front wall, do you switch left and right?
