Are Vienna Acoustics really this good


Vienna Acoustics have snuck into my house via my home theatre system. I finally got around to listening to them with music and I can't believe how good they are. I have what I thought was a very good and expensive high end system (Apogee, Krells and ML gear. The little VA's keep drawing me in and I would like to know if others have found these speakers to be superior to many of the over priced over hyped audiophile favorites i.e.B&W etc. Are they really this good?

My impression listening to the Vienna Acoustics Mozart at at local Tweeter store are pretty impressive. The sound a lot better than the small Sonus Farber(not fair to compare 2000+ speakers to 1000 speakers?) My concerns are whether they will sound good for a long time, meaning no or very little listening fatigue.
I think the new B&W Nautlus are overly priced,not that they sound badly. There are few speakers out there with less money and less fame that sound better than the B&Ws.
Erniec, you should read Nezwek's thread entitled "SonusFaber GP? Other recomendations?". He mentions that the combination of Krell amps and Vienna Acoustics Beethovens were the best he heard.

It seems that VAs do both movies and music very well.
Too bad Tweeter sells them. Their salespeople are clueless. I was interested in listening to a pair, but they were so poorly set up that I knew they had to sound better than they did in the store. All I got from the salesperson was a lot of hyperbolic sales crap.


I suppose the B+W Nautilus are pricey, but they are not hype. They do sound great. Unfortunitely for mere mortals they sell well at that high price. If you go to B School they will teach you to charge what the market will bear. A used pair of Matrix in good shape are a great bargain.
