Vienna Acoustics 'The Music'

Hello Falconquest:

I have had the Vienna Acoustics- The Music since last December and must say I am most happy with them at this point, however I must say they have a long break in period for the bass side. The coaxial mid range speaker in the music center is pristine for female vocals and horns. Very smooth and dynamic. I power my speakers with Jeff Rowland equipment (925 monos, Chorus and PSU). All cables are Cardas and Shunyata. To me a great match of all cables and equipment.


Getting back to the basic question as to where they can be heard, I believe David Lewis Audio in Philadelphia has a pair on display. That is the dealer I purchased mine from and had a great experience dealing with them.

I listened to the Liszt at RMAF.  They were in the boulder room and I thought that was one of the better rooms at the show.  I would imagine that the Music would be even better.  VA has been spotty regarding their distribution in the U.S.  I do own the Liszt and there are only a handful of speakers I would consider making a change for. 

VA gets it. I did try to replace my Beethoven with the Strauss and they did rock better, but I lost more resolution than I expected and low volume listening was less engaging. I let a pair of The Music get away last year for $10k plus shipping and I’m kicking myself for it.

As to the Liszt I would probably be smarter trying them since they probably would do better with my hegel h360, but I know if I liked them I would think the next step up would have to be better.

There's a demo pair on sale from a European distributor on Ebay. I think USD15-16k.  Sounds too high especially since he told me freight by sea is cheapest option right now due to Covid and is 2,500. Does everyone still love them? 

I invested in a pair of meridian dsp 8000 with the se upgrade I’m sure I spent as much as the VA’s with quality components and I have to say that itch has been scratched. No doubt ‘die Musik’ is an amazing product for the money and one of the few passive speakers id consider.
