No, I'm not saying that a long wall set-up is no good.
I am saying that with maggies, I have found the set-up that sounds the most musically involving and portrays the sound most correctly - IMO - is with the maggies well into the room (much easier on the short wall). Not only is there more depth, the speakers disappear better - again, IMO - and the bass is usually MUCH better.
Of course, this set-up will call for first reflection treatment on the side walls and behind the listener. And - IMO - some treatment (not the entire wall) on the front walls as well.
This technique also helps to dramatically reduce any rear wave reflections. The rear reflections are an absolute no-no with any planar speaker. They cause all sorts of comb-filtering response irregularities. Sadly, it's not just audible as a loss of info, it's actually measurable. And of course, we know that a certain manufacturer doesn't particularly want reviews with measurements. Not because the speaker is somehow defective, it's quite excellent. But the reflections can affect the measurements in a room, and it will be unpredictable based on the room geometry and how far they are away from the wall.
Anyway, if you build it, you can try both techniques. ☺
