HELP! Need help with consideration for Magico room placement. Has anyone had any success or heard them placed far apart. In my room I have to have them placed 11 feet apart minimum due to being integrated to a theater with a screen that is that wide. I know the Wilsons and Rockports can stand it. I particularly have interest and am looking at the S3 and S5's but don't have time to borrow a pair to hear in my own setup. TIA!

owen, its not placement that wide that concerns me, its that you are likely in a large room if they're that far apart, and will serve 2x duty in HT apps...the S3s are more small to mid-size room speakers, and deep bass is not their strong suit. wonderful speakers, but not all good speakers are good in every application.

Thanks Ryhno - you are correct - the room IS large, at 18ftx45ft. As much as I dislike the idea for music but if going for the S3's I think I would have to supplement 30Hz down with my two JL Audio F113 Fathoms. I think the bass *should* be OK, but am wondering about tonal balance and adequate center fill... Also, the listening position is only 9.5 feet away from each speaker (front row of theater seats), so it's not an equilateral triangle.
