Pairing MA 5300 with Large Advents for 900 sq ft apartment?

After 30 years living in a house on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, I'm moving to a 1 BR apartment in Astoria NY. It's 900 sq ft, with a large living room (about 20 by 30) and I want to equip it with a good audio system.  

I have Large Advent speakers, Canton small Karat 30 speakers and McIntosh L320 speakers in my MD house.  

Wondering which to take?  

Thoughts?

Do you know if having area rugs and curtains will help both the acoustics but also reduce the sound transmission to the neighbors?

Rugs and curtains absolutely help noise transmission. In fact many buildings require you to have carpet/rugs

Yes, I have Roon, Tidal, Qboz - Why the big Mc L320's?

The owners manual for the L340's (4 ohm) says that they are designed for optimal performance with any MC amp, even the least powerful.  

I guess I should do as you suggest and contact MAC Labs and ask.  Do you just call them, or send them an email?

Well, if you have Roon and know how to use the EQ you can fit much larger speakers into a small space. :)
