MMGs

A year ago, I bought a pair of MMGs.  In my 13x22 room, placement was a challenge but finally worked it out.

Speakers are powered by an Adcom GFA-555.  The only source is a CD player through a passive pre-amp.

Now I have a little more to spend and would like thoughts on the following options:

1) Mye stands for the MMGs

2) The DWM panel with the MMGs (secondary question - can this panel be placed on a side wall perpendicular to the MMGs?)

3) 1.7s

Open to other out-of-the-box suggestions as well.

The goal is always to attain that Magnepan soundstage.  Musical tastes are female vocalists, jazz, blues.

I tried my best to find if either was 2 ohm rated can't find out on net, both spec's go down to 4 ohms .
I'd call both makers and ask if they are  2 ohm rated , if not I'd wait for Odyssey which is .
I have twice seen 4 ohm rated blow on MMG's.
If Bryston says its 2 ohm rated it is worth it because of more power which Maggies can always use .

I ran MMG's with Odyssey Khartago plus and sounded great. But in a smaller room. They are great little inexpensive speakers, but can only do so much...

Thank you for the responses. I am beginning to wonder if the MMGs will work in this room.

If I could come up with a $2000 budget for amp and speakers, was willing to move away from the MMGs, wanted similar clarity and soundstage, and would place the speakers on either side of my 55" tv and closer to a wall than the MMGs, what would be the recommendations?

Used Belles amp and Gallo A’diva speakers on their tube stands and a used sub, preferably a Gallo .
Killer sound, easy to drive, work in any room and easily moved anywhere in two minutes and never heard of one breaking .
AND women love them , they are beautiful . I bought all that used, in great shape for around around 1100$, lives in bedroom . I 'm not saying all that because I bought them , hearing all that was why I bought that .

Which model of Gallo? Did you mean the stainless steel spheres like these? https://www.audiogon.com/listings/full-range-anthony-gallo-acoustics-a-diva-stainless-steel-satellit...
