I do agree that placement can affect sound quality. I think that Maggies are extremely sensitive to placement. As I note below, mine were set up using the Cardas method for dipoles. I had previously tried other methods (e.g. thirds, fifths) and had done quite a bit of experimenting before ending up with Cardas. Why doesn't Magneplanar recommend it? Beats me. I've heard other folk say it doesnt' work well for them. But the point that folks seem to be missing is that the placement didn't change. About the only difference is that the speakers are now about an inch higher. Everything else is the same. So either I'm having a wonderful placebo effect or the stands made a major difference.
