Von Schweikert VR2 vs. Totem Arro

I posted a thread a week or so ago about needing speaker recommendations for non-optimal placement in a small room. These are the 2 that were recommended to me. If anyone has direct experience with both (or experience with one of them in a non-optimal placement), I'd love to have your impressions. They'll be 5 to 6 feet apart along the short wall of an 11 x 13 room, near the back wall (18 inches), and one near the side wall (again, 18 inches), and I'll be 8 from them, centered between them. Rest of equipment is: Rega Planet2000, Adcom GFP750, Bryston 4b-nrb. Speakers I'll be replacing are Energy C6. Thanks. -Dave

I replaced my VR2s with a pair of Totem Forest. The back tweeter in the VR2 is very tricky and in my case, *very* similar to yours, affected the imaging big time. If turned off, the sound became dull. The Totems are in a different league altogether. The imaging is incredible.

I have only heard good things about the Arro and even some reviews regard it as being better than the -more expensive- forest. I'd go with Totem.
