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?

I own the Beethovens. I've found set up more critical for high frequency smoothness with these. I love the resolution of these baby's. But in my system(krell300il, rega jupiter, blue heaven inter, kimber4tc.)more than 1/2 my rock cds overload the tweeters around 90-95db. The speakers or the recordings? I would guess a result of the speakers high rez.
I found dyne audience 80's to be the best rock speakers out there, but you give up resolution for tons of bass and a forgiving top.
