Not to discourage you but with a small room like yours I would stick with conventional box speakers. I own 3.6s and I can attest to the fact that Maggies need room; the distance to the front wall being, in my view, the most critical. There are so many great box speakers of every size and price that I am sure you could find ones that would give you all you want and need. Try to audition a pair of 3A De Capos with any decent integrated amp or maybe an all REGA system like I heard a couple of shows ago in Montreal. Good luck.

I've been looking at Maggies (online, not at a dealer, nobody around me has them), and I was wondering if it is possible to mount them on a wall. Building a bracket or stand to pull them about six inches off wouldn't be a problem for me, but I was just wondering what I lose by putting them up on the wall. The MC1s are intended for wall mounting, and I have a subwoofer (Infinity CSW-10) to take care of the bottom end. My room is small (15x10), so those giant obtrusive panels 4 feet into the room are slightly out of the question. Would this combo give me a better sound (mostly rock, jazz, classical) than floorstanders or monitors? If I built a bracket to pull them off the wall a bit, are there any construction guidelines I should follow? If you haven't noticed, I'm pretty much building my first decent system; right now I have an HK receiver, Infinity Alpha 50 towers, the previously mentioned sub, and the sub is the only thing I'm happy with. Thanks!
