RE: "having them (the subs) in the front corners" ...

The way the Finish designer described placing the subs in the corners and the reflection issue when not doing so made a lot of sense. I had always previously thought it was better to place the subs closer to the listener, away from the corners or wall and in line with the speakers, but I hadn't considered how part of the bass wave would travel to the front wall and back.

Sounds like corner placement works really well in your system. So do you just use a symmetrical 80 Hz 4th order XO? Someone else (I think it was Satie) suggested to me to use a 4th order 80 Hz HP on the Maggies and try varying the sub 4th order LP, maybe trying it a bit lower, say 50 or 60Hz, - to try to stop the dipole bass and sub bass radiation patterns interfering too much.
