How do your MC1's compare to the your 1.6QRs is there a huge difference in sound or is more of a subtle difference? Getting the wife to go for the 1.6's is going to be a harder sell than the MC1's. Wow, if you can get your wife to buy off on the 20.1R's you are going to have to let me in on your secret.

There's really no secret to it. One just needs to be patient and be willing to make sacrifices, like giving up all dignity and self respect by whining continually for a year or more. It isn't very pretty for a man of my age, but it usually works.
I also have an advantage in that my wife loves the looks of the larger Maggies and although she doesn't care about the technical aspects in the least, she does appreciate the much improved sound.
The 1.6s will go lower than the MC1s and they will also provide more detail. Quantifying the difference between the two is a bit difficult, but there is a fairly substantial difference between the two models. However, with a room the size of yours placement may be an issue with the 1.6s and some type of room treatment will probably be required at some point.
The MC1s would also be a big step up from your MMG-Ws and present fewer issues with placement. Either way you go, the speakers will need to be augmented with a good subwoofer.
