| Vienna Acoustics The Music Hi Jon, as far as I know, there is no audible difference between the old DIe muzik with Murata supertweeand the new version with the VA-designed transducer.... I continue to love my own pair! G. | |
| Vienna Acoustics The Music Hi Jon, in recent Die Muzik production, Vienna Acoustics switched the supertweeter to a transducer of its own design. G. | |
| Vienna Acoustics The Music Hi Mikey, I did have Cardas Golden Ref power cords and speaker wires at one time. I still have the speaker wires and use them occasionally as backups. Golden ref have a slight swelling of the mid bass, hence the sometimes impression of sluggishnes... | |
