I haven't heard the Rienzi, but have heard the Parsifal (not in my room though) and like them! I have Vandersteen 3a Signatures now and the sound is similar. What I really am interested in, though, have you tried the Quatros in the new room? The Rienzi doesn't seem like it would be any better for your size room, and given the Quatros adjustable subwoofer could be a better fit in the lower frequencies which is where small rooms are the worst. I may someday get Quatros and have thought they were a better fit for my slightly larger room (13' x 14'). Your experiences may help with my decision!
Anybody heard the Verity Rienzi?
I currently have the Vandersteen Quatros but a new addition to the family forces me to move out of the current listening room to a substantially smaller one (13 X 11'). As such, the search began for a smaller speaker and I had a chance to audition the Rienzis.
I was very impressed by the precise imaging. The midrange was highly detailed and dynamic. The low end, while it doesn't extend to the lowest depths, is tight and well defined. I think that the small room will reinforce the bass well enough that I owon't miss it too much.
So anyway, how many of you have heard the Rienzis and what are your impressions?
Thanks!
