...so they might sound best with more space behind them than a small room can afford.
I think it's safe to say that there are zero speakers that "sound best" in a small cube room.
Maggies, however, will work fine using more toe-in. The dipolar radiation will most likely minimize the room modes.

Good point.I think that an extreme amount of toe-in would be required in order to retain those dipole benefits. But I've heard of people who use almost 90 degrees of toe-in, so it might work.

I use 45 degree toe in my larger 15 ft wide room tweeters in. In my small sitting room 10.5 feet wide I have tweeters out and 20 degree toe in. Both provide a fairly good power response and similar flatish response after EQ.
No subs upstairs though.
