Both are good speakers, so I've read. While I've not heard either, I do have personal experience with room of the same exact size as yours and it was not well suited to music listening. My system sounded great in two other houses but moving it to the new house with a 13 x 13 den, music sounded awful. Moving it later to a larger great room in the house made everything better, except for my wife's attitude.
The speaker drives the room, so a safer solution would be a speaker that produces less bass and can be placed close to the wall. So, that means either no port or a front port, with the Dali Mentor Menuet as an exception. I'm doing a home demo now for a friend and the Menuet's do quit nice close to the wall and have ample but not deep bass. Good luck.
