I have a pair of 3a's and a pair of 3.7i's and several amps. How exactly do I set it up?
Is it like an L shape with the older pair facing out? Any certain tweeter configuration? How far from side wall?
Follow Ups:
Front pair as normal. Outboard pair tweeters out board,IIRC. Outboard pair at about 90 degress to normal pair. ANgle has to be played with depending on room etc . We had a big high current amp so could run the pair in parallel
Thanks guys. I will give it a try next week.

Rudy,
can you explain what kind of special Magnepan speaker that is?
It is not "special" but Tympani ID with TW in the center between the woofer and Mid Woofer.

So how do you run these?
Separately or use them together for T ID bass and T ID "ambiance" tweeter. Are they run full range with the Quad 63?

We were discussing this a few years back. No one could remember the exact orientation and polarity or appropriate distances to front wall or sidewalls.
As a WAG try it in roughly the current location with the IIIa as back wings on the outside with the tweeters of the front 3.7i inside and the IIIA tweeters in the back away from the corner, facing to the sidewalls. That would make the corner bass panels.
Option 2 is the corner where the speakers meet are the tweeters, both speakers facing out and the two ribbons would cover a 270 degree arc nearly like an omnidirectional speaker. I suppose you would want the tweeters 3 ft or more away from the sidewalls and leave yourself a listening triangle with a bit of room behind your head.
