Size of room matters. Amplification matters. Positioning matters. Tweaks and room treatments can matter, but that's just fine tuning what is already exceptional. Of course, budget is an underlying issue that influences everything else, and WAF shouldn't be discounted as a factor either.
Bottom line (my opinion, based solely on what you've expressed about your listening room environment): if you're limited by any of the factors mentioned above (budget, space, family considerations, etc.) and still vacillating between speaker preferences, perhaps box speakers would work better for you.
OTOH, ...as I race to avoid forum member's pitchforks & torches for suggesting such sacrilidge... if you can manage to budget for larger Maggies that better fit your available space and lifestyle (such as the 1.7 or 3.7) along with correspondingly respectable amplification and front end, you'll likely achieve Nirvana (sans Kurt) and never look back to boxed dynamics. My two cents.
