About to audition Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Grand Reference - advice?

I am huge fan of VA. I have owned in the past, the Haydn Grand, Bach Grand, Mozart Grand and I think Beethoven Baby grand.

Not sure the difference between the reference version and these older ones.

The only speakers I thought beat them but sounded similar in how they do things so well were speakers from Sonus Faber (older models, not the new ones), Verity, and Devore.

I bought a Verity Parsifal to replace the VA it was much better, and then finally Devore Orangutans, my final speaker, that beat Verity handily.

Either of them (Verity, Devore) could rival the VA in looks and sound better IMHO.

And Devore speakers are much more tube friendly, VAs need SS to really sound good. Although high-powered tubes might work, but why do that if you can get better sound in a more efficient speaker designed for tubes like Devore.

Only after I posted, I saw that the OP had already bought his speakers. Nevertheless I let the post be cause I thought perhaps it could help someone else googling speakers. As many posts in in other have helped me while I have been googling speakers and brands.
No need to get so pissy and make this forum an uncomfortable place; this is a place for all hobbyists who enjoy music and equipment, not for sniping at each other at the smallest excuse.
