Sounds like you're wanting the Grand Piano. I say, try both in your home if at all possible. I hope you have at least minimal room treatments. You should consider the Paragon Acoustics Radiant, a much better value at $2850. www.paragonacoustics.com
Help=Vienna Beethoven&Sonus Faber GP
Help = Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Speaker vs. the Sonus Faber Grand I own Sonus Faber Electa Speakers and am trying to decide on purchasing either the Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Speaker or the Sonus Faber Grand Piano speaker. The system is in my living room with the BAT VK-D5 CD Player and Bow Wazoo Integrated amp (amp change possible, prefer not unless needed). Speaker size is a major concern so they need to be small (like the Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Speaker). I am willing to go up to $5K (if needed, under 4K is preferred). I heard the Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Speaker with the Plinius 8510 amp. They were musical, great on vocals, sound stage okay, etc and I liked them. The Sonus Faber Concerto Grand Piano speakers were also very musical, open and seemed to involve me more in the music than the Beethoven. This is a very difficult decision and I do not want to make a mistake. I am thinking that the Grand Piano maybe the best choice but I really cannot decide. I am scheduled for more listening this weekend. Any recommendations one way or the other?
