Vienna Acoustics The Music

Teeshot,
Where the bass and lower midrange are concerned, The Music cannot be described as thin at all. I would say that when properly set up in the room, the sound is very natural and balanced throughout the audio spectrum.
You can of course, tailor the sound to your personal taste and the recording on hand. No worries where rock is concerned. On the Eagles' live recording of Hotel California, bass slam is as good as it gets with no overhang. If you are into rock, better to stay with solid state amps.
Happy listening!

BUMP. My experience with VA loudspeakers that use the spidercone drivers was sacrificing spl for the natural sound ! Is 'The Music' also limited to reproducing small jazz ensembles at live levels or can this speaker match the output of speakers like the salon 2 or 207/2 without losing control? I know the VA will sound more natural at 90db, but how will it sound at 100 db?

Guido,
Can you shed a little light on the sonics of the Mahlers you owned compared to the Muzik. Haven't heard either of them, but good prices on used Mahlers.
                        Thanks,

I’d take The Music over a Salon 2 any day.  Not sure what VA speakers you heard, but if you need a speaker to play louder, you probably have bad hearing loss, or are expecting too much out of a speaker for the given room size.

CTFD.

The Beethovens were the best sounding speakers i've owned, but with 200/8 and 325/4 wpc Krell kav 300 il they struggled to achieve 95 spl in my listening room. Revel f52 with the same power would play much more dynamically at concert level and image tighter, but still 2 dimensional while the engineers at VA seem to be the best yet at reproducing individual sounds in space. So while most of my music listening is at or under 90db I occasionally need to 'rock out' and when I had the beethovens I would swap out my kef 105/3's to boogie to, now I want a Vienna acoustics speaker that sounds as awesome as the beethovens without it's spl restrictions.
