If you are not listening at levels above 80 dB or so, I'd go with Revels. You don't need compression drivers/horns. At 7' you could also use floor standing speakers like the F206 or even F208. They don't take up any more floor space than a monitor on a stand.
F208's are full range, F206's have a bit less low end. The waveguide/tweeter and crossover help them sound like a coherent whole at a close listening distance.
Another nice thing about the Revels (and JBL LSR series) is they sound good in rooms without acoustic treatment because the off axis response is close to the on axis response.
I worked as a recording engineer in many control rooms with a lot of acoustic treatment. My home has none and my F208's sound great.
You can probably increase your listening distance with the right speakers.
