Update-
So I went with the Vienna Acoustic Haydn Grand and so far (day 2 in system) it’s pretty damn nice. In comparison to my SF Concertinos, the most obvious difference is the Haydn’s top end which is a bit rolled off (most evident with female vocals) I’ll say the SF upper end is nicer. The Haydn puts out an impressive kick in the low end which the SF cannot match. The soundstage is a toss up, SF soundstage is deeper, the Haydn’s wider and slightly forward. Imaging is excellent and about equal so far. The SF sounds better (more lush) at lower volumes (ie: late night listening) whereas the Haydn is more capable of playing classic rock at moderate levels....both are built exquisitely...no clear winner here. Very interesting and fun stuff.
