The MC-1's are small to facilitate wall mounting. If they'd tried to get more bass out of it they would have had to increase the size of the speaker or decrease maximum output levels, because they would have had to introduce a bass resonance. Since bass below 80 Hz is essentially non-directional, there was no reason to do that in a surround.
I'm not sure if you'll get more room filling surround from the Magnepan dipoles. That would certainly be true if you were comparing them to the typical box, but you're comparing them to other dipoles. What the MMG's will do is sound better, since they're better speakers that in most respects outperform anything else in their price range.
IIRC they already have holes that you could use to mount them to the wall with a piano hinge without drilling any new holes in the speaker, BTW. You have holes on the bottom that the feet bolt through, and then I think you have a hole up at the top, so you're covered. You'll have to cut a hole through the sock but you can always replace that if you decide to sell them down the line.
