Regarding Magnepan MMG speakers


I have a Roksan Caspian Integrated Amp and would like to use it with a pair of Magnepan MMG speakers. The room size is 17' x 12'. The speakers can only be set-up on one of the 17' walls and each speaker will be about 3 1/2' away from each side wall. My wife will only allow 1 1/2' to 2' maximum distance behind each speaker to the back wall. Will this be enough for the MMG's? The Roksan Caspian Integrated amp is rated at 70 watts RMS into 8 ohms and 100 watts RMS into 4 ohms. A damping factor of 140 (8 ohms). Current output is 50 amps Peak to Peak and uses a 350VA Toroidal Transformer. Will there be any issues or concerns using the Roksan amp with the MMG's? Any opinions, advice or suggestions from maggie owners is appreciated.

Onemug, Tpsonic and Rkeman, thanks! Will take your advice about moving them out for serious listening. Seems you all do agree that amp would be OK with MMG's. BTW, I will not be adding a subwoofer. Incidentally, for a comparison, what's your opinions on using Maggie MG12's instead of MMG's with same amp and same room? Would MG12's be too big for amp or for room? Also, how much bass is given up by using MMG's instead of MG12's?
