I'm using MG12's in my 13' x 14' listening room. I have the speakers about 41" off the rear wall. Can you afford to use that much room. This was the sweet spot in my room. I listen to them angled inwards position and sometimes facing forward. Each position has it's virtures in soundstage presentation.
I'm also using a 35 watt tube amp and YES, they sing in my room. The MMG's should be wonderful in your room especially with the amp you have.
I just put a Hafler Transnova 9300 in my system to check it out for a friend and I got a wonderful midrange but the highs were all wrong. The speakers will tell you what is upstream. You will be able to hear the changes that are made too.
I agree with Plato, give it a try. You may be very surprised. The Manley is very good and should mate very well with the Maggies. My room does not like speakers that have bass below 35 Hz. I can use a subwoofer just fine but not a speaker that goes below 35Hz. Things get fat in the bottom end. Strange room I say.
