Should I switch to a larger room?

My current listening room is 10x12. Since I live alone, I could make my master bedroom my dedicated listening room.  It is 13x18.  Switching rooms would be a PITA, but is it worth doing?  My speakers are MMGs and they will be getting the Peter Gunn mod in the fall.  I do have some room treatment from GIK Acoustics delivering in a few weeks, but what I ordered was based on my 10x12 room.

@artemus_5 Magic quotient of 1.6?  Do you happen to have a link where I can read up on it?

@bdp24 Even though it is 10x12, the maggies are currently 4 ft off the front wall and my listening position is 4 ft off the back wall.  The tweeters are to the inside and my ears are 5 ft from the tweeters. I've heard some gunned MMGs and after hearing them, I decided to mod mine. I use two subs in my system so I'm good on the low end.

Looks like I will be moving my system into the larger room.  Hopefully, the room treatment I bought will also work in the space.

@james663 In my 10x12 room, the maggies are actually 4 ft off the wall.  I basically have a near field setup.  I think it sounds good, but I'm gonna switch to the larger room and give it a try.  I've spent a good chunk of change upgrading my system over the past 6 months, so I want it to sound the best it possibly can!!
