Yes, the 1.6's will work just fine in that room. If you can save up the 1.7's will be better

Great!
Essentially the upgrade is a no brainer as the swap should cost me less than $350 USD once the MMG's sold.
Will look at the 1.7s in a few years, once the itch hits again. I am trying very hard to concentrate on the music rather than the gear.
I fear that the ribbon tweeter on my desktop Adams Audio studio monitors may have spoiled me for quasi ribbons, but we will see.
Many thanks!

I had 1.6s, do not be afraid of using the tweeter attenuator resistors and an inductor inline.
That era, 3.6 and 1.6 seemed to run a bit hot for me stock, but the tweet attenuator fixes it well.
You may want to check out used speakers in the 3.x series, your room is big enough and as you say it's hard to go back from a true ribbon to a quasi ribbon although the 1.7 is apparently closer to the true ribbon sound. Plus you'll get even more of an improvement in bass extension and dynamics.
Yes, but IMO, anything bigger would be better suited for placement along the short wall with more space behind them, and firing into the depth of the room.The 1.6's would be a perfect step up from MMG's.

I think they'd all be better against the short wall, and also without the fireplace behind them (based on my unfortunate fireplace experience),
Agree with the above. Should work very well.
