Walkman,
The Hawks are world class speakers that when treated right, can do things most speakers on this planet only wish they could do. With that being said, the Hawks are not the most versitile speakers on the planet and are very picky with room and electronics. The Sim gear is a decent match with the Hawks and your room size is about right for this speaker.
With that said, the VS VR-2 is technically a far lesser product although it can be the better tool for the job in many instances. It is much easier on room placement and equipment matching and can mask up some of those nasty recordings that run fairly rampid with your musical tastes..
For your listening tastes, I would look at NEAT acoustics or vintage Polk Audio SDA's.
