RE: So basically you turn your Maggie into a giant Bose 901??

The point isn't that the sound from the sides isn't reflected, obviously it is, but that it's the first arrival, so psychoacoustically, it's interpreted just as direct sound would be. That makes it very different from the Bose effect, in which the delayed reflections are at a significantly higher level than the direct sound, and have the subjective effect of adding excessive reverberation. Rather, the ratio of initial to delayed sound is about the same as it is in a planar in a conventional orientation: the wall isn't a perfect reflector, but the COA of sheetrock is low, under .10 in the mids and highs, so except perhaps at the very lowest frequencies the amplitude loss from the bounce is perceptually insignificant.
