Narrowing down floorstander selection.

I'm narrowing down my speaker choices and would be interested to hear any thoughts about these four speakers:

Von Schweikert VR2
Vienna Acoustics Beethoven
Dyanaudio Aucience S82
Vandersteen 3aSig

If anyone has suggestions for other speakers in the 2-4K range, I'd be curious to hear them also. I am ruling out planars and horns, either for reasons of demo availablility or taste. Also, I intend to avoid the addition of subwoofer(s) to augment my setup, at least for the time being.

I intend to purchase electronics after deciding on the speakers.

My room is very large with high ceilings, and placement is
flexible.

I listen to the usual eclectic range 'o stuff, but with a heavy emphasis on large scale orchestral classical.

Thanks for your help.

Well, at least everyone likes what they bought. No ego gratification, justification here. HA!
Here's a question: Is it more important to be phase and time correct electrically, or at the point of the listener?
That is, coming out of the speaker, or at the point where the listeners ears are: if so why, then how do you do that? Then, what is the result? Then what speaker does that, (or speakers).
Phase and time correct electrically may not matter if the listerner hears a sound which has terrific lobing problems in the room. Just a thought.

BTW, most of these are decent speakers by most people's level of expectation.
