For your room and style of music, I believe the Maggie 1.7s or 1.7is with well integrated subs, would be incredible.
Over the years I've had many very nice speakers, but developed a particular fondness for stats and ribbons. For many years I had and very much enjoyed a pair of Quad ESL 63s. In my 14' x 26' with 10' ceiling, audio room, I now have the Maggie 1.7s with a very well integrated single ADS sub and the sound is amazing. With a bit of time and attention to set up, the little Maggies can present a very wide, deep, detailed and focused stage - both in and away from the sweet spot.
I'm considering moving up to the larger 3.7i, or possibly the Sound Lab 645s, but that would mean a need for more power and the 1.7s sound so very good driven by my 100W Rouge integrated tube, I'm not sure the gain would be worth the cost.
I can not imagine that you would be, in any way, dissatisfied with the Maggie 1.7s in your space.
There are a lot of good suggestions here for various other very good speakers, but If you do choose the little Maggies and would like some helpful suggestions on set up, feel free to PM me. The idea that ribbons and stats can not image out of the sweet spot is not true.......Jim
