Meadowlark Nighthawk vs Von Schweikert VR4 SE

I am considering upgrading my speaker to either the Meadowlark Nighthawk or the Von Schweikert VR4 SE. My present system includes: Audio Aero Prima cdp, Belles 21a pre,Belles 150A REFERENCE amp, Von Schweikert vr2, harmonic technology pro-silway mk111 ic and pro-9 spk. cables.
I find the sound of the VS vr2 to be on the forward side in the mids & highs and not quite as warm & transparent as I would like. Don't get me wrong guys, the VR2 are really excellent speakers in there own right($2500/great bass),but I just want something better overall and am willing to spend the bucks in the price range of about $6000 new. However, I am not able to audition these two speakers in my area and would like some help as to which speaker would be less forward(mids & highs) and more warmer-sweeter overall.
Thank You.

I have not heard the Nighthawks but have heard other Meadowlark Speakers and they are hard to beat. I would contact them directly. I currently own Sonus Fabers which I am thrilled with as I prefer accurate imaging and a warmer sweeter tonality as you describe. If I went to a bigger listening room and needed a floorstander opposed to a monitor, the Meadowlark line would be first on my short list.. I wish you luck!
