PSB Synchrony One's or Legacy Classic HD's
Thanks.I currently own the Synch Two, but searching for a more open midrange and a more neutral speaker. I find male vocals quite laid back in the mix, especially when there is tweeter related sounds going on. So I am thinking a 3-way such as one ... 
PSB Synchrony One or Two
Update...I landed up purchasing the Synchrony Two. The shop did not have the One's but I was quite satisfied with Two's and the One's were a bit out of my price range. Anyway the midrange is very clear, have heard a lot of details I have not heard... 
PSB Synchrony One or Two
PhilefreakThe reasons I can't buy these now are:(1) PSB will only be available in my country next week(2) Vienna will HOPEFULLY be available in 3 months - I can possibly import it directly from Austria.That is why I have not bought and been lookin...

PSB Synchrony One or Two

PSB Synchrony One or Two
How do the Ones compare to the Twos from your perspective?Are the Twos close to the Mozart Grands? 
PSB Synchrony One or Two
What minimum size room do you recommend for the Ones (and Twos) to avoid having overpowering or bloomy bass?How far should they be from the back and side wallsThanks 
PSB Synchrony One or Two
How open is the midrange on the One or Two? Or is the difference all in the bass? 
Vienna Mozart Grand or Beethoven Baby Grand
Do you mean the closer you are to the wall the less bass node/hump you will get?How far should they be from the rear wall?Thanks

Sorry one more thing - the Vienna tests (the charts of frequency response) seem to suggest a mid-range dip, I think its termed a "suck-out". Anyone know the implications and why its designed like this? Is it to get a more recessed mid-range?

Is the VA midrange recessed and quite laid back? Is it a dynamic speaker or flat?Thanks

In respect of the magazine mentioned earlier in the thread: VA came out on top (of the 3 mentioned in the thread topic) in respect of midrange, soundstage and listening page...I am curious to know your thoughts on the VA midrange compared to the S... 
Vienna Mozart Grand or Beethoven Baby Grand
GuidocoronaI checked the amp specs - damping factor is >200. Would you say this is low or high? Is the higher the factor the cleaner the bass? 
Vienna Mozart Grand or Beethoven Baby Grand
GuidocoronaHow can you tell what the damping factor is? Is that the wattage at 2ohms?The original Mozart non-Grand had a minimum impedance of about 3.5ohms measured. Not sure what the Grand version's equivalent number?Also does anyone out there kn...
