CONFUSED.. Moz vs Beeth..vienna acoustics at all?


Hi. i'm new to the forum. i just upgraded my components and it was my first time into the world of separates. i got a Primare amp and processor (just over 6k$). now my old mb quartz bookshelves don't seem to be adequate anymore. so now i guess i also need to upgrade my speakers. i was going to go with Vienna Acoustics (since the place where i got my components really promotes the vienna line). My question WAS going to be:

are beethoven's were really worth the extra expenditure over mozart's?

i only have so much money left to put toward this venture. i was planning to go with a maestro, waltz's, a REL storm and the mozart's OR if it was really, really worth it, the beethoven's instead of the mozart's. BUT... after reading a few of the discussion inputs (especially one by foreverhifi@juno.com) i'm not sure whether to even go with Vienna Acoustics at all (?). i want these for home theater use AND music and my musical interests right now tends toward techno, alternative, nine inch nails sort of stuff, with some christian contemp thrown in for good measure.. (yea, i know :))
what do you guys think? i guess now my question is:

Should i go with vienna acoustics at all or would something else maybe better meet my needs?

thanks in advance,
Steve

I currently own the VA Beethovens,Bachs,and Meastro. They have been in my house for well over a year and I am very happy with them. I am all over the board with my listening habits as well. Yes,there is a quite a difference between the Mozarts and the Beets. Speaker cable and I/C's make a big change in the sound as well as the positioning.

"Boring for anything with dynamics". I think you may have heard a bad set-up. What kind of speaker cable was used? The entire VA line needs at least solid copper for the detail to come out. I would like try some silver someday. The local Tweeter stores use B&K amp. with cheap Monster braided copper cable and this a very bad match for the Veinna's. I have a EAD powermaster 1000 amp with solid copper cable and get very good results.

If house or heavy metal is what your playing then get a pair of Klipsch corner horns.
