the Vienna acoustics have a wonderful sound with my jolida jd502 amp. got both from brian higdon petery-hedden co. look him up on the web. in the Louisville area and he ships for free. he handles both. also I love the finish on the va speakers. I have nice furniture and they fit in, and sound better than they look. never been so happy with my sound system as I am now. thanks for letting me put in my two cents. bob
Axiom M80 VS Vienna Acoustic Beethoven on CJ 11A
Hi,
I currently have a pair of Axiom M80 driven by a Conrad Johnson 11A power amp. I listen mostly to classical, percussion, and vocal. Very few jazz and no rock at all. Stereo only and no surround.
I'm looking for speakers upgrade and I listened to some Vienna Acoustic speakers (used to have a pair of Bach and auditioned Beethoven) and I got very good impression on them. In particular, I love their smoothness. The model I'm looking for is Beethoven, not the newest Beethoven grand however.
Unfortunately in home audition is not available so I'm looking for some opinions here.
Did anyone ever compare Axiom to VA? How do they compare?
Also, did anyone try CJ and VA combination and how do they match? I think both of them are warm but I'm not looking for some "too warm" sound.
Thanks for any thoughts and input. Any idea is appreciated.
Andy
