I agree with Newbee that room size is a critical variable for you, esp. regards getting a speaker that will work well either nearfield or close to boundaries.
My first that was that many 13k speakers would be bigguns that would need lots of breathing room or overpower your space, but I see the Merlins in question are a modestly sized two way tower. Just my opinion, but wondering if 13k is a lot for such a speaker . . . .
