Vienna Acoustics Bach Grand

I'm currently demo'ing a pair of these speakers in my home. It's seeming as if there's a bit of muddiness in the mid-bass. From anybody whose heard these speakers, is this something that could be a function of how much power I'm giving it? I'm using an HK AVR125, rated at 45 w/ch. Highs and midrange seem just fine, in fact it sounds great. Its just when I play something a bit denser, such as Dave Matthews Band or even some of Sting's more recent albums, that I'm finding this type of performance. I don't listen to anything much harder, but if I ever do, I would imagine it would only exacerbate the issue.

I was expecting something a bit more, but wondering if it's the fault of my equipment rather than the speaker. My old speakers were three-way, so I'm wondering if I might need a speaker with a dedicated midrange plus woofer to get me the sound I'm wanting?

I have the Grand Mozart's. I agree that they may have a softer high-end and may add some mid-range bloom. With the right amp its just a touch.

I have to also agree that they have an amazing soundstage. Highly musical with pretty amazing detail. May have less than some in the highs but you can listen for hours. 

Also you need a high current amp. I would also look for more watts than your receiver. I have older Exposure amp with high current and 90 watts a side and they absolutely sing. I agree a better amp is in order. Think bigger power supply. Most people who don't like these speakers don't have enough current.
