In Reply to: Magnepan 1.7 or 3.7 purchasing advice please :) posted by Sperandeo@me.com on February 13, 2012 at 21:21:58:
I have no experience with the 1.7 or 3.7 but I have dealt with every other Maggie from the T-1U through the 1.6 and 3.6. IMO your room is way too narrow for the 3.7 and marginal, at best, for the 1.7. Yes, the Maggies are somewhat more tolerant of being close to sidewalls than most conventional speakers because of the roughly figure-8 pattern but tolerant doesn't imply ideal and one foot is awfully close.
You don't list your system. It would also help if we knew what other components were in play. Generally speaking I'm not a huge fan of subs with Maggies. I have heard a few implementations that I thought sounded good but I'd say that in fully 85%+ of the Maggies (or other planar dipoles) with subs systems that I've heard I thought the subs detracted.
