Magnepan 1.7s in a 10x13' dedicated room?

I'm planning on upgrading my speakers soon and want to go back to Magnepans. I'm considering MG12s but came across nearly new 1.7s on Craigs List for a good price. Problem is, my room is only 10x13x8', but I can do anything I want to it. It already has three bass traps, (two in front corners, one at ceiling wall juncture in back) and 24 1x2' Auralex absorbers spaced around the room. Floor is hardwood with a big think area rug. Anyone put 1.6s or 1.7s in a room of similar size?

I have the 1.7 in a 12x15 room they sound amazing I'm driving them with Emotiva xpa-1L mono blocks which seem to be a good match. Currently thinking of 3.7 anyone have any experience with them in a room my size

My room is 12 x 15 x 8 just upgraded from 1.7i to 3.7 i.  Don't be scared of large Maggies in a small room the sound is totally amazing you get more of everything. Also upgraded amp from Emotiva ( which kept blowing) to Parasound Halo integrated a match made in heaven. Plenty of power and great sound.
