Let's try this a different way then

It appears my desired Maggies will not work in my 13x22x10 room, so I am now in search of the next best thing.

Which speakers (especially those listed on the marketplace here) under $1000 would be well matched to my Adcom GTP-500/GFA 555? Source is an Onix XCD-88 (Burr-Brown 1732 24-bit/96kHz DAC internal).

Musical tastes are folk, jazz, classical and 60s rock. As you can tell by the reference to the Maggies, soundstage and detail are more important than bass. Ideally, I'd like to fill the room with music and lose track of the speaker locations

Maggies are quite forgiving of proximity to sidewalls because they have nulls off to the sides, being dipoles. They also like a lot of breathing room behind them, again because they're dipoles. So unless placement constraints prevent you from taking advantage of your room's long dimension, you might not want to cross them off your list just yet.
