RE: Anyone Try Planars on a Loft?

I tried my IIIa's in a loft and was extremely disappointed. I never liked the sound with the chair along the railing. When firing across the room it was too constricted. I also tried it with the Maggies at the railing with the backs firing out into the family room behind and below. It sounded terrible. Dead.

So, no, I was never able to get it to work in my loft with my speakers. YMMV

What I have had success at is what I call large room REVERSE MAGGIES. I put the chair within a foot or two of the wall of a huge room. Then I place the speakers out about ten feet from the wall behind me. This gives a near field listening experience with no short term sidewall or front wall reflections. It gives a huge depth of field on naturally recorded acoustic music.
