From the speakers on your list I would choose the Kestrel 2's.
I have been a big fan of the Meadowlarks owning Kestrel HR's , Shearwater HR's and Kestrel 2's. I also enjoyed a pair of Audio Physic Virgo II's and didn't enjoy a pair of Virgo III's.
I sold the Kestrel 2's after hearing the JTM's from www.carolinaaudio.com ($1500) they are just simply the best I have heard at home. The transmission line is so much more accurate sounding then the Meadowlarks going deeper and with much better definition without any thickness or congestion in the midbass.
I really can't say enough about them. They are a single driver speaker but offer more extension at the extremes than the 2-way Kestrel 2's. They offer an amazing amount of detail in the most effortless way.
They're definately worth a listen and there is an in home trial which I took advantage of.
