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.

Presently running Vienna Acoustics The Music speakers. A full sounding speaker with a tremendous sound stage. They do best in a big room several feet from the wall, and sure excel on female voices and jazz. A great sounding speaker, however it needs to be set up properly.

Yes, the HEGEL 360 would have done the trick, however the THE MUSICS like the juice. I am pushing 800 watts per chanel  on mine and they love it. Too bad you missed that $11,000 deal. That was a bargain!

I have not had a pair of the Mahler so I cannot compare. All I know is that THE MUSIC speakers have a sensitivity of 91 and are 4 ohm. The owners manual specifies amps 50 to 500 watts are needed. Like any other descent speaker, as long as you pushing clean power they will take what ever you give them. I would be more afraid of low wattage, low current amps which could have a tendency to clip.
