Yeah, agree with JBen, at least I think it was JBen -- lose the absorption. It's eating up the highs. And bring the Maggies vertical, they'll image better too.

FWIW, I just had diffusion on the wall behind the speakers and absorber panels at the sidewall 1st reflection points and an absorber panel right behind my head because the sofa was right up against the wall. The mids & highs from my Quasi Gunned MMGS was exquisite .
Also FWIW, I used different crossover components of the same value that PG specified.
That's a good arrangement. Some would leave out the sidewall absorption, I think it depends on whether you prefer lateral spaciousness or clarity -- I like suppressing the side reflections myself, but I've found it's optional with dipoles since they don't radiate as much to the sides.
I initially used the same absorbers with my MG-2.5R's but recently removed them in favor of trying diffusion. Sounds better than I thought it would but I've more listening to do.
What kind of diffusers are you using? QRD diffusers don't always work well on the sidewalls because you get lobing if you listen within about eight feet. I imagine the same thing would be true of skylines.
