14 x 14 foot room, too small for Magnepan MMGs?


That's it. It's a smaller room, but really, it's more like it's the side part of an open concept apartment.

It's a square, 14 x 14, then the rest of the apartment goes from there. I'd probably get a sub to compensate for the bass rolloff of the maggies.

Is this a bad idea? i know people say that maggies need room to breath, but I could give them about 3 feet off the back wall, plues 2.5 feet from the sides.

You should be fine. I have MG12 in a 16x15 room and they sound great. I move them out about 3 feet from the rear wall when listening; when done I push them back out of the way.
I agree with Duke and Jesaikido..I used MMG's in a smallish 13x14 room and they actually did very well. Much better in that room than the 1.6QR's that I upgraded to. I had them about 3-4 feet out from the wall and 6 ft apart. My listening seat was up against the rear wall. A sub may not be in your best interest as it may overload your room..but if you can demo one first you'll know better. Best!Ken
Duke raises a good point; dealing w/square room will dramatically affect the sound. You might look at the acoustics forum and/or sights such as rives.com and realtraps.com. I'm no expert, but guess that some type of bass traps will help a lot in that room.
