RE: Can't mount the Maggies on the back wall.

Posted by Brick527 on December 29, 2020 at 14:51:20:
There were 3 options addressed
" To help you decide how far to put the speakers from your wall, use one of the three options given in this guide. Ideally, you will either

1. Flush mount them to eliminate boundary interference from the front wall. This is the only way to completely remove quarter wavelength cancellation caused by the wall behind your speakers.

2. Put them very close to the wall, moving the cancellation notch to a higher frequency so it can be tamed with absorption.

3.Place them far enough away from the wall so the cancellation notch is outside the frequency range your speakers reproduce."

Magnepans usually use option 3,5 or more feet from the wall,
because of being dipoles.

Anyway the point I was making is that if your speakers and room setup is creating all kinds of cancellation notch's in the frequency due to room boundary issues more power wont help.
Good luck.
