Mmmm, Magnepan may not like me saying this. But I fear that those 802's are going to feel rather happy, and even stick their tongue at the Maggies if you don't choose "wisely", and I don't mean the color.
Please check with Josh. He had a fireplace issue in one room. I even modeled it for solutions at my home and it was not easy, though it could work. The problem can be that hole, as "seen" by the back of planars. Your situation may vary depending on other elements in that room.
One though is that you could try the 1.7i trial offer, or borrow a pair of large Maggies. This would be just to see if they work well enough there. If so, then the 3.7i can work fine.
