You probably already know that in a square room such as yours you have a low-end frequency room mode issue (whether with dipoles or front-radiators) that you may be able to ameliorate to some extent with acoustic treatment. That aside, 14'x14' strikes me as too small for Maggie 3.6's, and barely at the edge of livability for a pair of 1.6's, even if you park them only 3' from the front wall. If Maggies are where you'd like to go, MMG's or MG-12's with a subwoofer may be your most viable option.
Maggies aren't stats, BTW, though as flat-panel planars they look similar to them. The stat breed includes Quads, Eminent Technology LFT's, and Martin Logans. Some of these are hybrids, with "conventional" woofers for the low end.
If possible, you should see if you can audition Maggies (or other planars or stats) in your own room and system before you commit to a purchase.
