Von Schweikert vs Meadowlark vs Triangle

I am hoping to get some feedback on these speakers - Von VR2 (poss VR4) vs. Osprey vs. Triangle Luna/Naia. Specifically, how they would perform in a small room (12X13) fairly close to the wall (6-8"). The room is not optimal with the speakers angled from the corner, but the layout needs to stay. I have added curtains and some acoustical panels already.

I am looking for a speaker that has detail, but errs on the side of warmth. A speaker with a natural sounding top end that integrates well with the midrange. Ideally, a speaker that can deliver detail while providing a musical, non-fatiguing sound. All 3 are 3-way designs. Any downside or comparsion with going with a 2 way speaker? The speakers will also be used for HT.

My components are Cary 306, Cary Cinema 5, Krell HTS 7.1 preamp & XLO cables. I am only looking at changing out my speakers. I posted a similar post, but the responses have focused on trying to work with my present speakers (B&W - not keeping). I would very much appreciate responses on the speakers mentioned above or other speakers that provide a less analytical approach. thank you

I had a chance to listen to the Osprey's driven by Aragon Pre-Pro and 5 channel amp, but the system and the room was not optimal for a two channel setup.

I came from the British type of sound and the Osprey sound a little bit different that was not to my taste. The mid was a little edgy and incisive for my taste. The treble is not as sweet and smooth as my Spendor. But it could the amp as I was told the Osprey's are very revealing and it sounds much better with tube amp. Maybe tube will help to soften them up a little bit. I remember seeing an add here for the Osprey and the owner comments that they are a little forward for his taste. I guess I had the same feeling.

On the plus side, the soundstage is very good to excelent.
