joseph vs maggie vs proac vs spark


Has anyone compared Joseph Audio RM22 to ProAc2000 signature or AudioPhysic Spark? I managed to have only short listen to each one. I am looking for speakers in the sub $2000 range which have good image/3D soundstage and can disappear. Any comments on the three speakers above? Will use Marantz DV18 as a source and probably AudioRefinement Complete integrated. Thanks. PS: has anyone listened to Maggie 1.6? how's it compared to the above speakers?

i forgot to mention that i ordered the kestrels (haven't received them yet, though).
i hate when people throw new products into the mix (i.e., ignore your question), BUT i almost bought the joseph 22's two weeks ago, but then heard the meadowlark kestrel hotrods at the last minute. they have fantastic imaging and a smoother sound, particularly for female vocals -- and cost almost a grand less:) (list = $1500). you should definitely check them out. apparently, a lot of people prefer the kestrels even to the shearwaters, which is what i originally wanted to hear. the maggies are a totally different ball of wax. can't comment on the proacs or sparks.
