I have 3.7i Maggie's in a 12x15 room and love the sound The sound stage and clarity are truly amazing.

Recommendations for a new integrated amp for Vandersteen 3a speakers
Another Parasound fan everything you need and John Curl design. 
What is the right choice?
Parasound also makes a great integrated with the features you are looking should be able to find used in your price range. Tough to beat a John Curl design. 
Opinion regarding Golden Ear Technology Triton 1R
I would call the manufacturer most are very willing to answer product questions.

Maggie 1.7i with a sub would sound wonderful in a room that size. My rooms a bit larger 12x15 and they were fantastic. I've moved to the 3.7i which is better on some music but also reveals a lot more flaws in a recording.
