Welcome to the forum and congratulations on being here.
1.7s are going to be awesome for you. They are a great speaker. Bryston is a pretty magical match with Magnepan but that is going to be a bit above your budget.
If you can find a used Bryston amp with decent power, it could be very interesting. Especially matched with something like an NAD C658 which has an awesome feature set.
They have been horrible to get through COVID, but a Musical Fidelity integrated amp would be brilliant with those. The M6si is $2790 new and will have plenty of power to drive those speakers. I did see the distributor has one silver edition of this in-stock but it is B-Stock which means there will be a visual defect. Otherwise, there may be stock hitting the market this month. B-Stock does not need to be sold at minimum advertised price so you could get that for less.
Getting music to that integrated amp is the next challenge. You can simply run a USB from your computer to the DAC on the integrated amp. An alternative would be a streamer or server. Do you have a large local library? Do you need a CD player or place to rip music? Will you just use Tidal or Qobuz?
You could get something like a Bluesound Node for $549. Longer term, they are going to update the software to allow you to use the USB as a output. Short term, it has RCA outs.
You could spend a bit more and get something like a Roon Nucleus which has a USB output. This starts at $1400 and does require a Roon subscription and either a local library or a Tidal/Qobuz subscription
Finally, those 1.7s are great but don't have the best bass response. Good for most music, you may find that a subwoofer would enhance the listening experience. Maggies are not the easiest to integrate subs with. Sunfire still has some nice subs in the HRS line that aren't crazy expensive and are refined. I think they start at $850 for the 8".
At a more modest price, Q Acoustics has a $599 sub that is nice called the Concept B12. I worry about the amount of power it has to offer in that large of a room but it might work.
SVS makes several sealed subs that would do the job and would be fine choices for you.
Regarding budget:
$2000 for the Speakers
$2790 for MF M6si (less for B-Stock - between you and dealer)
$599 for Subwoofer
$549 for Bluesound Node
$5938 Total. A little bit more for ICs, a pair of RCAs and a subwoofer cable.
~$1000 more for a Roon Nucleus.
Not spot on budget but not that far off with an amplifier that can really handle the very hard to drive Maggie speaker.
I am a dealer for Musical Fidelity, NAD, Bluesound, Q, and Roon. I have no affiliation with Magnepan, Sunfire, SVS or Bryston.
