Here's my room...what are my options?

My room is 12 feet wide, 18 feet long. There is a fireplace where the stereo would normally go. I only have room for monitors that will sit on a mantle on either side of the fireplace (firing down the lenght of the room), no more than 18 inches from the back wall, and maybe 24 inches from the side walls.

I have an all McIntosh system with the MA 6900 integrated amp, MCD 205 CD-changer, and MR 85 tuner. I listen to a wide variety of music.

Two intriguing speakers are the Joesph Audio RM 7si-II, and the Revel M20. I have read many good things about the M20 on other threads in this location, but not very much on the Joesph's. Can anyone speak to these or any other monitors (not B&W though, i've heard those) they have used in similar circumstances?

Thank you,
pardales

I heard the Mc Int when I was shopping for speakers and demoed it woth the M20. I am not a fan of the M20. Dull and lifeless even with the great Mc int. The cablign was cardasand the cd was Meridian. I woudl highly recommend Gynaudio, which is what I purchased, but it is sensitive to placement. The ideal choice for you in my eye (ear?) is the Merlin TSM-M read the reviews at www.merlinmusic.com. They can be had for a steal here at audigon, or ordered in a custom color from Bobby P. the owner of Merlin. Everyone has had positive experiences with Bobby and he is at owners beckon call and will help you make the right choice with electronics etc. Try Merlin, not to picky about placement, great tone and soundstaging!
