You said you tuned your placement for soundstage but you get a bass suckout in the "sweet spot".I suggest the bass suckout is due to either:
* the location of your listening position, relative to the room dimensions, or
* the location of the speakers (relative ...).You might like to try the following procedure:
1. Move your listening position to 1/3rd, 1/5th or 1/7th of the length of the room (away from the wall behind you). [I am assuming here your Maggies are facing down the "longer dimension" of the listening room!]
2. Move the centre of each bass panel to 1/3rd or a 1/5th of the length of the room away from the front wall.
Obviously, there are various combinations of these ratios you can choose from - eg. speakers 1/5th out and chair 1/3rd forward ... or speakers 1/5th out and chair 1/5th forward ... etc..
3. Then adjust the toe-in and distance apart of your speakers to give you the soundstage you like.
Good luck,
Andy
