I've been planning to try diffusion to see if I could get them closer to the wall, but only if I couldn't get the facing-the-mantle orientation to work, since from a practical perspective that's the best arrangement for this room. Though diffusion isn't ideal on either of the other walls I could use, one of the diffusers has to be over a window.

Without diffusion, I find that the further out you get them from 3', the deeper the image. I've read that that it keeps getting deeper until you're out 15' from the wall, though for want of a big enough room I've never tried it myself.

I modified these MMG's, BTW, to make them vertical so they image more like their bigger cousins. Stock, MMG's don't image well at all. But I'm planning to replace them with bigger Maggies anyway, these are a stopgap since I couldn't fit my old Tympanis in this little room. Right now, I'm trying to figure out what I can fit in here, that's going to depend to some extent on where in the room they go.
