Are Vienna Acoustics really this good


Vienna Acoustics have snuck into my house via my home theatre system. I finally got around to listening to them with music and I can't believe how good they are. I have what I thought was a very good and expensive high end system (Apogee, Krells and ML gear. The little VA's keep drawing me in and I would like to know if others have found these speakers to be superior to many of the over priced over hyped audiophile favorites i.e.B&W etc. Are they really this good?

I heard the Mozart's in an all Krell system and was very impressed with their smooth mid's and sweet high's. I've also heard their latest flagship speaker (don't remember the model right now) and was also favorably impressed. They make a fine product.
After many years of listening to speakers I purchased the Vienna Mozart’s. (Space constraints and $ prevented my buying the Mahlers) I had listened to Sonus Faber, Audio Physic, B&W, to name a few all around the same price point. The Vienna’s sounded right. With others speakers I always felt "something" was missing; bass, openness, tone etc. I have listened to them for nearly two years, often for hours at a time and never found them fatiguing. I added their center speaker and Hayden's to my HT.
The fact I rarely see them for sale second hand indicates owners would be very happy with them.
If the Vienna Mozart’s have a weakness, it is in the bass. I added a REL subwoofer to fill out the bottom end. A local dealer believes this combination is better than the Beethoven’s.
I believe they are very good speakers at a very competitve price point. I believe they work well with all amps but always try and listen to them at home with your equipment.
I have owned the Beethoven's for about 6 months now and cannot be more pleased with the performance, not to mention the gorgeous, slim-line looks (I bought them in Rosewood). I liked them better than the Mahlers. I use them with a REL sub but when I turn off the sub they still sound very rich, deep, clear and convincing. I use an Ayre V-3 amp (100 watts solid state) and K-3 preamp with them, and the EMC-1 CD player. This is a GREAT sounding system and I bought it all here on Audiogon, except for the Beethovens, which I bought new. 6 months later, no regrets, no listener fatigue.
I've owned Mozart's for over a year now, and am very pleased with the speakers. The speakers sounded better after several weeks of use. My joy is the smooth, seamless sound these little speakers produce. The Mozart's sound good at all volume levels, and do not fatigue. Vienna Acoustics match well with Classe electronics. My system consists of Classe CDP 1.5, CP 47.5, CA 300, SilverAudio interconnects and speaker cables.
