Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Grand


Hi All,

Just wanted to say WOW. My dealer has a pair of these. It's quite surprising as he tells me they are not released yet but he has received one of the first pairs.

Visually they are stunning. He has them in Cherry which is far more interesting than Beech, not quite Rosewood though. He has already put about 100 hours on them and they sound amazing. I went there to test the Beethovens (a demo pair) and fortunately he had the grand set up so we could do an A-B.

No comparison! The 3 bass drivers really kick up the bass response another notch. And the scanspeak tweeter developed for VA is really something special.

If only a mortage wasn't required for a pair!

PS. They were being powered by a set of Audio Research Monoblocks (not sure which ones), Audio Research Preamp and source, and Audioquest top-of-the-line cabling throughout.

If yoy want to see the grand beethoven speakers just go onto goggles search engine and type in 2004 ces vienna click onto that site pictures galore!
I had a listen to the new Beethovens through some Macintosh gear a couple of weeks ago. I was suitably impressed. Excellent dynamics and decent enough low bass. I am wondering now what the Mahlers would be like.

I just sold my old Beethoven. I made the mistake to listen to the new Beethoven Grand. The new model is just wat better in every way! Beethoven Grand has been ordered, and I'm just waiting for them to arrive. Extremely good speakers.
