Vienna: Concert Grand vs Baby Grand vs Original?

Has anyone heard/compared these 3 versions:

Vienna Acoustics Beethoven
Vienna Acoustics Concert Grand
Vienna Acoustics Baby Grand

I know the first model is long since discontinued
but it shows up used on Audiogon often.

I heard the concert grand and baby grand briefly a
year back and liked both but at the time thought the
baby grand was richer and more musical. But it was
only a quick listen to part of 1 song.

Has anyone heard all 3 and could tell me how they
differ in sound. And specifically which one was the
most organic and musical sounding? Someone once told
me the 2 newer Beethovens were slightly drier sounding
a thus a tad less musical.

Thanks..

I've only heard the two newer versions and both are very musical. I one the Baby Grands. When I heard the Concert Grands they had not been properly set up and were not fully broken in, which probably is what led me to the Baby Grands.

You know the "family" voice. I think you'll be comfortable with any of them. They like a powerful amplifier with high damping.
