Thanks for your response. The back of the CC5 is 20 inches from the wall. I think the angle of the picture is misleading. I will experiment with some absorption behind the panels. In another post, Wendell mentioned using some F13 felt behind them.
In regards to the power levels among the panels in the tri-center, what ended up being the best volume between the CCR and the MMC2's for you?

I put just slightly less power into the MMC2's than the CCR. The 20 inches between wall and the CC5 sounds good, but I assume it also means that the CC5 is on a different plane than your MC1's (is your processor capable of time aligning them to fix that?).

That's correct. The CC5 is 20 inches from the wall, but the MC1's are wall-mounted. This is what was recommended by Wendell. In fact, he said to get the CC5 further away from the wall, if possible. I can easily move the CC5 and have experimented with it as close as 12 inches from the wall, but that didn't seem to help any. I have the same thought about getting the MC1's away from the wall, more on plane with the CC5. I'll just have to get creative to do that.
The CC5 seems quite a bit more efficient than the MC1's. Being fed the same power, the CC5 runs about 6-8 dB hotter than the MC1's. I'm not sure if that's the case for the CCR/MMC2 combo. Then again, I could just be getting a lot of cancellation of the MC1's with them being so close to the wall.
