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
