Although I absolutely love my Wilson W/P 8’s, I’m really longing to go back to Maggies… The room is 15’ wide by 24’ deep, full heigh ceilings (~8’) with an alcove that is 6’w x 8’ long. How large of a Maggie can I get a way with? 3.7i’s would surely fit, but would it be too tight for 20.7’s? Last …

Thanks RobH. For me, the speakers would have to be along the 15’ wide wall (which is the front wall). No way to setup the room in any other way

Audiojan, the 20.7 is just much better than the 3.7. The bigger maggies allways produce a more lifelike and realistic soundstage. When I had Maggies. I progressed up form 3.6’s to 20’s to 20.1’s. My current set up uses Acoustat 2+2’s which I’ve modified in a 27’x12’x8’ acousticaly treated room. …

Well, sh*t, that comment might cost me money. Thanks Wayne! :rofl: Only concern I have is can I fit the 20.7’s in my space. I have to use the 15’ wide wall and I do need a bit of space between the speakers (there’s a TV on the wall behind them). And no, I can’t move the TV… I have a full 7.4.2 HT i…

Remmember the speakers dont need much distance from the sidewall. 12" should be good, maybe even a little less if you can do some esthetically pleaseing acoustic treatment to the walls. Esperimenting with the distance behind the speakers and the listening position, should prove to be the most critic…

A second on what @wctaudio says. I had 20.7s in a room that was 18ft wide and 30 deep with 8ft ceilings. Spend the extra dough and go 20.7s with some Rel subs. You won’t regret it. [IMG_20190512_223447783] [IMG_20190512_223500964~2]

I created this thread on my adventures of treating my 20.7s. [image] Acoustic Treatments for Magnepans/Dipoles - Diffusion not Absorption Accessories and Tweaks I have spent about a year and half playing around with the positioning of my Maggie 20.7’ in my living room and…

That’s some vintage PS Audio gear you were rocking! Wait a minute that’s what I’m currently rocking! Lol

So my Maggie envy is skyrocketing… guess the process will start with selling my W/P 8’s and then start the search

TMR is a Maggie dealer. Not sure if there’s any deals or special pricing but give Nick Lucini a call.

Do you have other speakers to listen to in the meantime? Back in April of this year (2022), there was a 6-month wait for new LRS/LRS+ speakers from Magnepan. I do not know whether December 2022 wait times are longer or shorter, or whether the wait time affects all models or just the LRS/LRS+, but …
