Now your talkin!! :). I have heard the mags sound might good in demos. But in one case the dealer likes to sit you about 6' from the speaker. The other demo was better but I think my new room might work better just because of dimensions

Can you describe your speaker placement,distance to the listening position & dimentions of your room?
My room is about 16X26... w 9' ceilings.... In a very open concept house... Speakers are about 5' from the front wall... about 11' apart... I sit 8' from that.... so basically at the 13' mark... However... one speaker has an opening next to it which leads into another room... and the rear wall is not complete.... as I can see my kitchen and our foyer....So even though it is basically 16X26.... the back of the room has a wall the width of the room... but the side wall does not go all the way down to the rear wall as the house is open.... How is that for not describing it very well?? :)
I think the most important thing is the wall behind the speaker. If it's relatively plain, you should be fine. Sides of the room matter less since they're in or near the dipole null, but closer to the front of the room they can affect the second reflection from the corner -- the sound will tend to wrap around onto the walls and if there's no wall where a corner should be you'll likely hear more depth there.
