Any experience w/ Vienna Mahler ?

Decided to upgrade. Speakers first. Auditioned the Mahler and found them very musical. Sweet highs, but was concerned about the bass. Seemed strong. Listened to accoustic guitar (Shawn Mullins "Shimmer") and when the e-string was plucked it sounded more like a bass guitar. Also, on Dr. John's "Wrong side of the road" the bass seemed to dominant the song more so than what I heard on other speakers. Is it the speaker or Dealer's set-up?

Thanks to all who responded. If you can tell, I really liked the way this speaker sounded. One of the only ones where I quit listening to the equipment and listened to the music for the sheer enjoyment of it. I think its worth another trip to the dealer to see if we can tighten up the bass. Anyway, thanks for the responses.

Just a follow-up to my questioning the bass on the Mahlers. I went back to the dealer for a second audition and as I suspected, they inadvertantly had a sub-woofer hooked up in the room and it was + 6db for home theatre. Once we got the sub out of the equation the bass was integrated with the music. I wound up buying the pair.
