The Beethoven Concert Grands have been around since 2005. To my knowledge they're passed through three "versions" over these ten years. You gotta wonder how old the ones on ebay are.

I recently heard the VA Liszt speakers driven by Ayre AX5 and they were spectacularly good. Possibly the best sound I've heard. Drove them loud with Mahler and Sibelius and they completely maintained their composure. At $13K they're obviously over budget.

The brand new VA Beethoven Concert Grand Symphony Edition is supposed to share not a little with the Liszts. Can't say whether this is true, or how much of a step-up the Symphony Edition is over previous iterations of the BCG.
