Maggie 3.6s have been on my short list as part of my new audio system. However, as I project out to a time in the hopefully near future when I will probably get a 65" widescreen RPTV, I don't think I'll have the room for everything across the viewing wall, which is 13' (13x20x8 room). A 65" RPTV cabinet is about 5' wide, add about 2' for an equipment rack, and that leaves 6' to play with for 2 Maggies, each of which is 2' wide.
I don't want to cover up the equipment rack (physical access, IR signal), although I don't mind hiding my SVS behind one of the Maggies. I know that folks who have front projection systems often spread out their equipment on multiple 2 or 3 shelf racks under the screen (center channel permitting), but I'm not sure I'd want to do that in front of an RPTV, as the equipment would be coming out another 2' more into the room beyond the 2.5' depth of the RPTV. I also don't see placing the equipment in a different part of the room.
Thus, I'm looking for ideas here. I may have constrained the problem enough so that no solution would satisfy me, but I may not have accounted for some options. I'd be interested if anyone has actually placed equipment in front of the RPTV and has photos online.
BTW, I don't consider myself desperate from the perspective that I must find a way to get the Maggies into the room. I have other candidate speakers with which I am happy (and for which I'll be able to audition at home), so it's not do or die; just exploring the options.
Thanks.
