In response to Thsalmon's post concerning Tweeter. If indeed this is where you must buy your speakers, I read that Tweeter is starting to carry the Martin Logan lines. Completely different type of speaker, but you may want to check them out if your local store is carrying them now. I'm going to mine this weekend.
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?
