Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand v Focal 826V


Hi,  Has anyone had any experience in comparing a Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand to a Focal 826V?  Power is an Anthem 225 with AP Oval 9.  Music would be classic rock/ blues and  easy listening.  Thanks

Hard to compare as they are many miles apart and listening in another room is almost useless  Are the Mozarts laid back at all??  In other words are rock and blues going to sound to soft?  We are not looking for Cerwin Vega here but do not want a surprise.  I used to work in the biz years ago and I thought at the time that many higher end speakers were somewhat designed with classical music in mind and still think so today but maybe not.
The 826 isn't wildly different in general character than the 936's I've got and I wouldn't call them laid back while being fed something like Tool. The dynamics and smoothness allows them to be listened to very comfortably at gut-rattling volume with complete clarity. I doubt the 826V would demonstrate the same muscularity in the bottom end, and the speed and clarity of the poly-glass doesn't touch the F cone, but they're very decent speakers all around. Still, I'm saying check out the 826W if you can find them.
