What is a minimum room size for 1.7 Maggies?


Greetings all, my room is 12x14x7. I would like to audition the 1.7' s, however, with my room size, will it be worth it?
Also, I am using a 150w McIntosh amp. Any thoughts?
Thanks a bunch in advance.

I have 3.6's in a 12x15 room. You should be ok in that room and with that amp

I run 3.6's too in a 13 X 18 X 8 room with McCormack DNA-500 and SVS Ultra sub and it's fine. I have major room tune stuff on front/back walls. My system will energize the room, that's for sure. I agree with Arh, you should be fine.

I tried the 12QRs in an 11x12x8 room and felt they needed much more space. Might've been I just didn't care for the Maggie sound but I definitely wished I had a larger room to try them in.
It really comes down to how you are using that room... if it's a dedicated audio room with very little of anything else, then I bet it would sound fantastic with a bit of acoustic treatment. If you need to fit lot of furniture in the room as well, then I would think it could be difficult to get enough space behind the speakers. Maggies really need room behind them to breath....
