I did just that seven years ago

I had the benefit/challenge of being able to use our family room upstairs to build out a Magnepan home theater (using 20.1's and the Tri-center arrangement in an overall 7.1 configuration). In listening to what you are planning, I would keep in mind that Maggies often do as well or better with dispersion than absorption and it sounds as though you may get just a bit too much absorption. I would also echo that getting enough distance behind your speakers is really important but also tends to interfere with the design optimization of a room. That's one area where a really big room can help. I would also suggest loading your configuration into REW's room correction software ( http://www.roomeqwizard.com/ ) as it can show you where the reinforcement and dropoff frequencies are likely to be.

Most importantly have fun with the project -- ours has been a huge enjoyment and I'm very glad I had the opportunity to do it (and show that these really big speakers can actually fit very nicely into a well designed home environment).
