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

Magnepan's are best in a rectangular room, and one larger than yours. I would speculate that you will have some strong room modes with any speaker that has any bass output. One wall where the dimensions are 15L by 15W by 15H will create a big problem.

Do you have a system in this room now? If so, how does it sound to you? I would think a pair of small 2 way stand mounts would offer a better match to the space.
Then it would help to know what you perceive deficient with your current speakers and what areas you are seeking improvement. Do you want more bass, better bass, better definition, more detail, less glare, better soundstage?

Then again maybe just different from what you currently own which is valid as well.
