The side firing woofers on the Mahler can be setup on the inside, facing each other, or on the outside facing the walls. This depends much on the room and equipment being used (from experience, not Vienna's literature), and will greatly vary the output and quality of the bass. While it is a somewhat difficult speaker to setup, it does have the sweetness and musicality characteristic of the Vienna lineup.
Any experience w/ Vienna Mahler ?
Decided to upgrade. Speakers first. Auditioned the Mahler and found them very musical. Sweet highs, but was concerned about the bass. Seemed strong. Listened to accoustic guitar (Shawn Mullins "Shimmer") and when the e-string was plucked it sounded more like a bass guitar. Also, on Dr. John's "Wrong side of the road" the bass seemed to dominant the song more so than what I heard on other speakers. Is it the speaker or Dealer's set-up?
