What mini-monitors should I audition?

I am looking for your input on what mini-monitors should I audition. These speakers are for my 2nd system (family room) that include the Meridian 508.24 CD Player and the Magnum Dynalab MD-208 Receiver (amp and tuner). I prefer something small in size without compromising the sound quality (yes, I understand, limited bass). My local Retailer suggests I listen to the Revel M22 loudspeaker, the Joseph Audio Rm7si Signature speaker and the Acoustic Engery AE1 MkIII speaker. I hope to listen to these speakers next week. Your comments and advice are appreciated. Thanks..

I'll suggest a different direction... I've been looking and listening to some mini-monitors for a family member in the under $1800 price range and the speakers that have captured my interest have been:

Reference Audio 3a Dulcet
ProAc Tablette 8
Harbeth HL-P3ES
Spendor S3/5

I've lived with the detail and speed of Eidolon speakers for my main system, but I found that these mini-monitors each were something I could live with in an alternative system. Of course, I've always liked the British small speaker sound with its emphasis on great mid-range and mid-bass reproduction for acoustic instruments.
