Vienna Mahler and Dunlavy SCIV/A comparison

Has anyone here make the comparison of both speaker? I used the Dunlavy but recently there a great deal on Mahler from one distributor (5000 US$ on demo unit and age around 2 years, Bi-wire version). I just want to try but want to have your opinion on some specific area.

1. Sonic performance
2. Ease of set up. My room not quite big and I heard that Mahler can creat bass problem in the smaller room.
3. Ease of drive. Can drive with 100 watts/channel or require muscle amp?

Appreciate your comment.

Hi Raquel,

Thank for the input provide to me. I have room size 13 ft*20 ft with 9 ft ceiling height. So, it look like a little small for this speaker. My Dunlavy has been setting on the long wall so I don't have any problem on the base boom.

I have 2 amp. One is Rowland Model 2, which rate only 75 watts at 8 ohm. I don't think it enough. Another one is Plinius SA102, which have 120 watts at 8 ohms. I think that Plinius can drive the Mahler in my room.

Thank for the comment.

Thank for the comment. i'm not committed to buy the speaker yet but just interesting. Today, I will go to the dealer show room to listen to them again when they set up properly (last time I met Mahler is in the show event).

Both speaker are great in my opinion. I will report back again, if I decide to buy and hook up to the system.

Thanks.
