I got the speakers 6 feet out from the front wall and I am making progress. Seems like sometimes I'm sitting closer that what would seem "normal". There is that distance where the direct sound and reflected sound reinforce each other. And the timbre changes with the amount of direct sound. What might happen if I lined up my guitar amps on the front wall behind the speakers? More absorption and diffusion. Vocals are a little thin right now....

Diffusers are a common treatment behind planars. I'd recommend however that you decided where you're going to keep them first. With 1-D's that can take quite a while! Then you can try some QRD diffusers at the first reflection point of the tweeter panels on the front wall (where you see them in a mirror when seated at your listening position).
Thank you, Josh358, for your insight! I have a lot of experimenting to do.
Good idea of the amps on the wall behind the speakers, and if possible the guitars too. They will act as diffusors, a good thing for the rear wave of Maggies. The distance between the T-I's and the wall behind them will create different interaction between the front and rear waves, leading to varying degrees of comb-filtering. Trial and error will be necessary to find the optimum position to minimize that.
