What size room for the Magnepan 20.1?

My room size is 19 x 16. I have a cathedrial ceiling which I believe is a plus, but also have lots of windows in my listening room. I would drive the Maggies with 450 watts of power into 4 ohms from my Musical Fidelity dual mono amplification, so power won't be a problem. After hearing the big Maggies, nothing compares, at least in my price range. I don't want to buy them if the room size will significantly reduce the sound potential. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Also, does anyone know if Magnepan is planning any improvements / upgrades?

Do not kid yourself, 19x16, your 20.1 will just love those dimensions.
4 feet away from the 19 ft wall and 6 ft between panels will generate a wide sweet spot and to mention dept and height. You may not need any room treatment and your tweeters can be on the outside.
Your system will sound fantastic, you will hear the drummer changing direction of his sticks or when he taps the left or right cymbals.
Enjoy.
