Are Vienna Acoustics really this good

I have owned the Beethoven's for about 6 months now and cannot be more pleased with the performance, not to mention the gorgeous, slim-line looks (I bought them in Rosewood). I liked them better than the Mahlers. I use them with a REL sub but when I turn off the sub they still sound very rich, deep, clear and convincing. I use an Ayre V-3 amp (100 watts solid state) and K-3 preamp with them, and the EMC-1 CD player. This is a GREAT sounding system and I bought it all here on Audiogon, except for the Beethovens, which I bought new. 6 months later, no regrets, no listener fatigue.

Damn! That's a great system you've got Sc53!

I've owned Mozart's for over a year now, and am very pleased with the speakers. The speakers sounded better after several weeks of use. My joy is the smooth, seamless sound these little speakers produce. The Mozart's sound good at all volume levels, and do not fatigue. Vienna Acoustics match well with Classe electronics. My system consists of Classe CDP 1.5, CP 47.5, CA 300, SilverAudio interconnects and speaker cables.

I own a pair of the Mahlers and am very pleased. I am using with 500 watt per channel Bryston 7BST monoblocks and an Audible Illusions L1 linestage. The speakers just disappear in the soundstage. The bass is very deep and tight and the midrange/treble is as natural as I have ever heard. The build quality is outstanding. I do not think you can get a much better speaker without spending $20M or more. I am not as familiar with their less expensive speakers but would expect them to be very well made based on my experience with the Mahler.

Well, I would say one thing. For me was necessary to decide between B&W and Vienna. And after I listen to both ... I've decided to go with Vienna. Sincerelly don't know too much about other speakers (high end speakers) I mean I know- but never listen to compare. I am in love with Vienna and for the music I listen they give me 100% satisfaction. So I am happy with Vienna. Sincerelly I put the sound on the 1st place, so basically from the begining I knew B&W have a english/I will not say American "wierd" design or "no taste design" - I didn't careso i said which souns better that's it- that is what I will use. But Vienna are a splendor ... 1st top quality! Anyhow ... how I said the most important thing is to like the way they sound! I am happy I choosed Vienna and I have a good ear - Vienna are good speakers - I will not say B&W are not good speaker- they are excellent! speakers but again - listen to them - the one you like the one that works with your house- those are the one you need to go for.
