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?

My room is 12 x 12' x 11' high. The 1.7's were too much for this room, too close. I bought the Super MMG system with a Bryston 4BSST2 amp. It's been great.

I do wish I knew the Maggie .7 were coming out, I prob would have gone with those. I do have Mye stands on my MMG's and they sound great.
