New versions of Vienna Mahlers, Strauss?


At the 2006 Rocky Mountains Audiofest in Denver I fell in love head-over-heels with the musicality of the Vienna Mahlers. But I have recently heard that both Mahlers and Straus have been since withdrawn, and are to be replaced by new versions. Neither the Sumiko nor the Vienna Acoustics web site have any information about these upcoming speakers. Has anyone heard any information? Rumours? Hints?

Gentlemen:

I USED to own Mahlers and Rowland amps (and now own different speakers, but still use Rowland preamplification).

Shane is right that the Mahlers will generally only work with big solid-state and that all of those big woofers require some work to eliminate boominess.

I do not know Rowland 7's well, but they will certainly have the grunt. I would recommend top-flight non-Class D amplification with real current. They sounded spectacular with Rowland Model 6's, but perhaps you would want more horsepower.

Hope this helps.
