Much discussion continues on the size of the room for matching with various Maggie models. Clearly there is no consensus.
However for those who read Paul McGowan's "Paul's Posts" you know he had great difficulty in setting up a pair of MG 20.7s for the PS Audio Munich Show demo. With some set up help and a subwoofer they finally achieved satisfactory results. So just look at the lead photo in the Stereophile article - placement must be at least 15 feet into the room!
