....no offense, but a 12 ft. wide room is really too small for 3.6s. Even 1.6s need more space. I know, I know....if he likes them....blah, blah, blah....Ok, they probably sound good in there. But they are also probably performing at 60% or so of their potential.

This is a great set up. I have to chant in about the width, big speakers need a big room...I'm sure they sound great, when you get them in a bigger room you will realy see what they can do.
I had them on my 21ft wide long wall and had a wonderfully wide and deep soundstage !!But just because he is limitted in width does not mean he should not enjoy the benefits of the improved clarity, realism and bass that the 3.6 can provide.
I agree also....to a point. But it is such a shame to see people shoehorn a large speaker in a small room. This goes for any type of speaker, but doubly so for maggies. Now granted, 27 ft. is a long room, but 12 ft. wide is VERY narrow for large panels. And I am glad he likes them, but over time I think he will hear the shortcomings.
