I owned MG12s w/ REL sub in a similar sized room (14x18). I found they coulc just not energize the room when dealing with rock. Sounded pretty awesome with small scale jazz and vocals, but could not replicate full scale symphony and rock though. i had some other issues besides that that caused me to move on. I have not personally heard the 1.6s outside of a dealer showroom, but I think they might fill in what the 12s (and MMGs) are lacking especially with a a good sub (or two) and those can be had at a very reasonable price. There are many, many satisified owners of the 1.6s out there so it seems like that would be a very safe choice I ended up with some vintage Infinity IRS Gamma (these will likely be extermely hard to find though). Much more room freindly than some other options. Planar dipole down to 125 Hz, 4 x 12 in servo controlled base supposedly good down to 15 Hz. I kind of doubt that, but make no mistake if you have enough amplification these WILL rock. Symphonic is excellent. Spent many hours recently listening to live brodcasts of the Van Cliburn competion.
