Let me restate the situation for clarity... You are wondering about the effectiveness of Maggie three series in a situation where you have them set up on the long wall and where you will have about 12 feet to position yourself, and the speakers? Seems pretty tight for 1.7s as well as 3.7s.
Assuming you place them three feet out from the front wall (which is probably too close for most tastes, as four or more is usually preferred) and sit yourself two feet from the rear wall to reduce bass and reflection issues, you could probably just make either pair work. But it will be tight and probably less than optimal, to say the least.
Either pair would work much better, IMO, if you could fire them lengthwise in the room. At twelve feet wide and eighteen feet long you have just enough room for either pair. Indeed you probably have a good room for a Limage set up.

Thanks so much brother. Seems like I have to give up in this room. I have a parlor of 4.2m*6m, but a longside setup is required. Maybe this will serve them a little better?

Maggies rule....the listening room. You HAVE to put them where they need to be or pick a different loudspeaker. You'll be in the nearfield on the long wall but it will work. The 1.7 and the 3.7s need about the same amount of space, pick the 3.7s for the tweeter, it's worth it.
I agree with Swamis, my 3.7īs work great on the shortwall (firing down the length of the room) in a similarly sized room.
....also, on the long wall you would be too close to the speakers. IMHO, with large speakers it is important to create some distance.

Agree with both of the above. Especially the Limage setup
