I have owned the Haydn Grand and older Beethovens. I really liked them when I first heard them. They were really easy to listen to, but over time they were a little too warm and recessed for me, and frankly, rather boring compared to the Kefs, Thiels, and Harbeths I own now. I haven't listened to their higher end models, perhaps they have a little more "personality". They make beautiful speakers, they just weren't for me.
Any Vienna acoustics love out there? Anyone even still using them?
Don't hear much about them anymore. I ask because I moved my Bach Grands from the living room (where they don't get much use) down into my basement main listening room today. Wanted to hear them with my Hegel h360, which I have never done. I was quickly reminded why I bought them in the first place. Great imaging/center image and instrument separation, excellent soundstage, sweet midrange. Warm, full sound you can listen to all day long. Can a speaker be on the warm side and still detailed? If so, I would say these fit the bill. Not the best for dynamics or that 'live' feeling, but that's not what I bought them for.
Anyway, interested in anyone's VA experience in general.
