Contrats, and welcome.
Extra stuff isn't all that bad, acoustically that is, unless it is rattling - bit I'm sure you would have taken care of that stuff Nice big room!
Let them sing... The MMG's of course.

Got it (on the MMGs singing). No one wants to hear me sing ;)
So where did you end up positioning them?
Any subwoofers?
I've got them about 15 feet apart playing across the width of the room. I have a feeling playing down the length of the room would be better but I have not been able to rearrange and experiment yet with that setup.
I added a single Klipsch SW-110. I didn't do as much research into subs - found this one on sale and it does the trick for now.
You can probably get better performance - particularly in the depth dimension on the short wall where you can pull the speakers to a goodly distance off the front wall into the room.
I've got them a good 3 feet off the wall and angled toward the listening position.
While that 3' is a good distance for a box speaker the planar dipole has a better optimal distance further from the wall at about 5-6 feet and in some arrangement schemes it can be pulled out further than that (e.g. "Limage/HK" placement scheme). That is only possible on the short wall.
Thanks for the info - I probably should think of arranging them to play the length of the room as opposed to the width.
How far is your listening position?
-Wendell
Listening position is about 8 feet from each speaker.
I don't understand how they present a realistic sound stage with good center fill with that setup. If it works for you nothing else matters. Enjoy.
-Wendell
I'm so new to this I don't know if this is the best setup. Real experimenting is going to require rearranging the room which I'm open to but have not had time to do yet. I am open to suggestions though as to which setup/arrangement I should consider first.
Best to start with the speakers and listening position forming an equilateral triangle and fine tune from there.

Seconded. (But I recommend tuning from there instead of "their")
