Vienna Acoustics 'The Music'

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.

I purchased a pair of VA-The Music speakers about 18 months ago and must say I am extremely happy with them. Their coaxial midrange is spectacular. They have excellent bass and sometimes slightly heavy in the mid-bass, but they sure can put out the music. Nothing wimpy about them and for jazz and female voices they really shine. The only caveat, I will mention is that they have a long break in time.

Glad you are enjoying The Music. For me, it has been 10 years since I purchased them and have had no regrets at all. I think they would bring 10 more years of sheer joy. The mid-bass can be contoured to suit your room by mere millimetres of positioning. These micro adjustments pay hefty dividends in delivering a very balanced sound top to bottom.
Agree about the long break-in but once done, you never need to look elsewhere ever again. Cheers!

Hello Jon:

Thanks for your response. Just out of curiosity, how far do you have your speakers from the wall and how big is your room. The mid bass issue which is only minor has always been some thing I wanted to correct, however it is only an issue with certain types of music. I am using a Dspeaker X4 room correction device to correct the problem when it bothers me, however that is quite infrequent. I agree they are excellent speakers.

Hello samgar2,

My speakers are 3 feet from the front wall and 4 feet from the side walls. My room is 20 feet wide by 30 feet long by 15 feet high.

The mid bass can be adjusted by making micro-lateral adjustments to the midrange-tweeter module inwards or outwards, and macro-lateral adjustments to the whole tower.

Also, placing the spiked feet on high quality footers is extremely beneficial. I used to have the same problem until I started using Harmonix footers under each spike and the mid-bass tightens up for a very balanced sound.
I use the RF-999MT mk2 "Real Focus".
