I was thinking of a speaker that was reasonably priced and had great tonal balance. I admit I have never tried Maggie 1.6's in a room that small.
One friend in my audio group has 1.6's in a spare room that's maybe 11 X 14 and they sound wonderful, maybe that's enough larger space to accommodate.
In spite of reactions here, I would likely try them myself if faced with that space. If it sucked, I'd pull em out. If it worked, it would be a speaker I could live with, even at low volume level.
