"new Maggie .7s"

I can't tell you much about integrating the sub so I will leave that to others. However, I can tell you that brand new Maggies will sound shrill and brittle for the first 25-30 hours of play until the mylar stretches a bit and they get broken-in. They will continue to improve more gradually and incrementally over the next 75 hours or so.

"The Maggies are about a foot off the wall and the SVS is about 2 feet off the corner."

3-5 ft out into the room is *much* better ... gives the di-pole reflected sound the "bounce time" it needs to sound realistic. Even if you have to move them out to listen & back when done to keep "Mama" happy ... this is considered vital among Maggieists. I suspect your overly long (40ft) room to be part of your problem, but again I will leave that to others more qualified. Good luck.
