Is my room OK for Magneplanar 3.6's


Hi, The room is only 15 x 15 feet with a sloping ceiling from 10 to 15 feet high. If the speakers are 3 feet from the wall, I'm at the vertex of an equilateral triangle with the speakers 6-7 feet from me and about 5-6 feet from each other. Thanks. Laurence

Try setting up the speakers using the 1/3 rule. If the length is 15' place the speakers 4' from front wall sit at 10' and leave 5' behind you.Changing any of these by a foot worked for me . This was learned from robert harleys "the complete guide to hifi" has worked wonders with my mags.If these are your first mags also place diffusers behind the speakers and listening position as well.And if you add a subwoofer place it right by your listening position.This setup of a subwoofer blends best usually.
I would like to know what size room do the people who say no have ? what is the ideal size then ?
What are the dimensions of your room josh358 ? Do you own the 3.6's ? My room is 14' x 22' 8' ceilings. would anyone say this is the right size room for 3.6's? my goal is to upgrade this summer from 1.6 to 3.6 .
