Vienna Acoustics Vs Sonus Faber

I am going to compare Vienna Acoustic Beethovens and Sonus Faber Grand Pianos.

The speakers will have dual use for music and HT. I want accurate sound with good imaging. But, as they will also be used for HT, I don't want to give up strong tight bass.

I listened to the Beethovens and liked them. But, I have some concern about using the Beethovens, because they are rear ported, and I will need to place them very close to the wall. Therefore, speakers that need very precise placement could be a problem.

I haven't listened to the Grand Pianos yet, but I have been told their high end is not quite as good as the Beethovens.

Has anyone compared these speakers? Is this true?

Vienna Acoustics speakers are not setup correctly in any Tweeter's I have had the pleasure of visiting. They use B+K amps. with monster cable. I am running my Beethoven's with Audioquest cable and a EAD powermaster amp. Whenever I stop by Tweeter and listen to the current hot setup, I always go away thinking the folks from Sumiko(Sumiko is the USA dist. for Vienna Acoustics) must be kicking themselves. Yes,the V/A line sounds like shit the way it's setup at Tweeter.
