Vienna Mahler and Dunlavy SCIV/A comparison

If you are comitted to buying Vienna Acoustics, then your two amps do deserve an audition.

The Rowland Model 2 will have lovely synergy with the speakers, and may even be sufficiently powerful for much orchestral music or rock, unless you need full-blast orchestral music or live rock sound pressure levels.

The Plinius, being a Class A design with stiff power supplies, should do well on the Mahler.

Please report back to us on how it sounds when you get everything hooked up and broken in.

Thank for the comment. i'm not committed to buy the speaker yet but just interesting. Today, I will go to the dealer show room to listen to them again when they set up properly (last time I met Mahler is in the show event).

Both speaker are great in my opinion. I will report back again, if I decide to buy and hook up to the system.

Thanks.

Chaltir. Raquel is spot re the mahlers, tube amps (most at least) need not apply.
I am sure your plinus will drive them fine. I have just bought cj prem350 after a quite long series of amp auditions. It would seem that amps with bi-polar output sections have the greater bass control.

have a look at the stereophile archives and Robert Deutsch does a comparison between Mahlers and Dunlavy SC-IV/A's.

The mahlers do need a little juice to come alive, but they can play as loud as you want to play them

5k sounds like a pretty good price considering you will also have full warranty.

have fun
