Reference 3A Grand Veena vs Emerald Physics CS2.3

I wonder if you guys have any comparative experience between the Grand Veena and the CS2.3? I have read numerous reviews on the Veena and ALL seem to be VERY positive. I have not had a chance to hear them myself though. I was able to hear the CS2.3 at the latest RMAF and thought they were very nice. I currently have the CS2's and so the CS2.3 seem to be a logical upgrade. It would be great to eliminate the need for bi-amping. I do however think that external crossovers are a great idea and will come more into the marketplace.

So, what kind of insight can you guys provide? I realize that it may actually be a long shot that someone will have heard both but I thought I would ask.

Thanks,

James

Hi Cloud,

I can only say that Grand Veenas are incredible, a huge value for what they ask for and also one of the best I ve heard so far. Since I did not listen to Emerald, I cant comment on that but it has to be very very good to exceed GV.

A must audition before buying anything.

Thanks,

I'm in a similar boat and unfortunately do not have an answer for you. I am very interested in the Grand Veena's but would like to audition them prior to committing. Much like Emerald Physics 2.3, you can arrange for a 30 day trial with the Grand Veena's, but the shipping back if you elect not to keep either is likely to be a hassle.

Did you ultimately make a choice? How happy are you with your selection?

Thanks.

Would you be able to go back to a Box speaker ? I heard the CS3s and found them to be very open,transparent and surprisingly well balanced across the frequency spectrum. the level of control once can have on the sound via the crossover is a bit eerie though !
