Magnepan MG 0.5 QR

A friend of a friend has died and left a pair of these speakers. I always liked Magnepan 3-series as I heard them at shows. I once had a 3-series in the house but my Musical Fidelity A100X gave less power at 4 ohm than at 8 ohm. These are off course a way smaller. The friend who died was a good technician (I expect a former rebuild) and used them in his main system.
But.... I have now a Spectral DMC12 and two valve mono blocks Dynaco Mark III.
I am afraid this is not the best combination for Magnepan. I am able to try the speakers before I buy them for about $ 250. My room is also rather small, about 4,5 x 3 meters (15 x 10 feet).
I also worry about the bass with these small Maggies. My speakers are 90dB and I like my amps very much. I once had a Rel Storm subwoofer, but the DMC12 has only 1 line out. So I had to connect them by the tube amps and that sounded bad.
So, will I need other amps? f.i. a tube preamp and a solid state power amp? Will I need bigger Maggies for good bass? Can I place bigger ones in my small room? By the way, I play jazz vinyl with a Kuzma and Vanden Hull cartridge.
I hope you can and will help me with good advise. And finally I am a pro musician (brass instruments) and not rich at all.
Regards,
Wil
