Totem Forest or Hawk -Help

I am intested in purchasing a pair of Forest or Hawk
speakers. Speaker placement is not very optimal in the
room. Room is 13x15,with 11' vaulted ceiling. Speakers will have to be located on the 13' wall, with
one speaker in corner and one next to a bookshelf.
I don't have room to move the speakers out into the
room though. They will probably be placed with only
about 12" between front wall and rear of speaker, 6-10" from sides.
Equipment is McIntosh MC252 amp (250W, SS) and C-42
preamp. I am currently using B&W CDM7NT speakers,
which I don't have a problem with, just want to get to
a higher level, more refined sounding speaker.
Thanks for any help.

Smholl,
Are you really that restricted from moving the speakers forward? I don't think you are going to get any more than 50% out of any speaker stuffed in the corner and cubby hole like that. I have long enough cables to move my Mani-2's out into the room when I want to do some serious listening. Can you do the same? I would say that is more important than which speaker. You probably will not get much bass response from a totem in the corners like that.
