If you are in the U.S., I think the best place to start with your questions would be Sumiko, the U.S. distributor.

VA Beethovens upgrade to Strauss experience/advice
On balance I am happy with the performance of my Beethovens but I 've got the itch to replace them with the Strauss.I must admit I lot of my motivation is simply based on ego and I really like the looks of the Strauss and the Mahler.
My dilemma is in my current room (23Lx16Wx7H)the bass of the Beethovens is just about right and I am concerned that the Strauss may take it over the top. Even still I am willing to take the challenge if the Strauss tops the Beethovens in the area's of midrange, teble, soundstage etc.
For example, the Strauss have the Scan-speak 7 in. mid-bass drivers. What do they contributre or take away vis a vis the 5.5 inch drivers used in the Beethovens. Are the tweeters the same similar or different.
