RM7si-II or Revel M20 or .....need help please

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

Thank you all! I believe the Joseph's have a port in the front. Also, don't the Revel's have an adjustment of some kind on them in case you plan to put them close to a back wall?

I would appreciate any other feedback you all can give. Thanks,

Tomryan: I will be lucky if I can even put the speakers 18 inches from the back wall. So rear ported speakers might not work for me. Atleast you had 3 feet to work with. I will have to consider the use of a subwoofer though.
