Vienna Acoustics 'The Music'
bump. This design is 16 years old now. My concern with VA designs has always been their early x-over to the midrange. The Mahler mids pick up at 80 hz, my beethovens at 75hz, those designs at least had 2 cone drivers to split the work. The VA webs...

My Vienna Acoustics Beethovens circa 2000-2004 have that slightly recessed mid from around 6-800hz to around 3khz is a smiley face. I'd owned the Kef R105/3 for around 12 years before buying them (ruler flat response) so when I'd swap the VA's in ...
