RE: So what's first, the egg or the Chicken!!

"I can tell you that bay windows are bad, that most people prefer diffusion rather than absorption behind planars, and that you can't place planars by formula -- you have to experiment systematically to get them dialed in and in my experience that's never where the bass is best. :-|"

Wouldn't bay windows create diffusion? I agree that apparently formulas don't work for Maggies (despite the fact that some inmates here seem to claim the opposite).

I can tell you one thing though: if you have a good pair of Maggies driven by the top notch upstream chain, it really becomes a challenge to find a placement that would coerce them into delivering bad sound. These mothers are incredible in being able to deliver unbelievable musicality even under lousy conditions. They also keep delivering even if you're seated way off the sweet spot.

I've been getting a lot of mileage recently from listening to Maggies while being in a different room, or with my back turned to the speakers, or seated way off centre, or playing with the volume knob. These speakers are definitely loads of fun, as they are not nearly as finicky as some of their high end boxed cousins.
