I owned the 3.6's among many other speakers. The long wall is always best with the listening seat against the opposite wall to minimise standing waves. Maggies need to breath and require alot of feeding...as in oodles of power and the right cables etc.. The room dictates the sound. When I switched back to dynamic speakers I was amazed at how flat sounding the maggies were...huge soundstage, but no real density or sense of action/palpability. Dynamic shifts were not their strong suit either.
