New Magnepan/Bryston Processor
Here is an interesting e-mail I received from Audio Consultants, a Chicago audio store, for a new Bryston processor designed for Magnepan.
I wish I could attend the demo to meet Wendell, but I will not be in the city next week. Quote:

Carlos - it sounds to me Magnepan and Bryston are teaming together to address what in my opinion is Maggies' greatest weakness, which is front-to-back soundstaging given their bi-directional radiation of sound waves. Gifted Listener Audio in Centreville is a Bryston and Magnepan dealer, so hopefully Tom Unger will be able to demo this setup soon.

Yong - I see what you mean. I consulted with an acoustic treatment firm (GIK) and they recommended diffusors to be used on the back wall behind the dipoles. I might get a couple of those panels next.

I have ASC sound panels mounted on the front wall. The GIKs will probably work better because they're wider and will thus absorb a greater portion of the back-radiated wavefront. Let us know how they work in your room.
