CONFUSED.. Moz vs Beeth..vienna acoustics at all?

Hi. i'm new to the forum. i just upgraded my components and it was my first time into the world of separates. i got a Primare amp and processor (just over 6k$). now my old mb quartz bookshelves don't seem to be adequate anymore. so now i guess i also need to upgrade my speakers. i was going to go with Vienna Acoustics (since the place where i got my components really promotes the vienna line). My question WAS going to be:

are beethoven's were really worth the extra expenditure over mozart's?

i only have so much money left to put toward this venture. i was planning to go with a maestro, waltz's, a REL storm and the mozart's OR if it was really, really worth it, the beethoven's instead of the mozart's. BUT... after reading a few of the discussion inputs (especially one by [email protected]) i'm not sure whether to even go with Vienna Acoustics at all (?). i want these for home theater use AND music and my musical interests right now tends toward techno, alternative, nine inch nails sort of stuff, with some christian contemp thrown in for good measure.. (yea, i know :))
what do you guys think? i guess now my question is:

Should i go with vienna acoustics at all or would something else maybe better meet my needs?

thanks in advance,
Steve

I started djing house music (in addition to all the ecclectic music i listen to otherwise), and the VAs are definitely not the way to go. They are ok for classical, but boring for anything with dynamics. I listened to the Beethoven extensively, and it wasn't my cup of tea.

I think Dyns can rock (but need lots of power), and Talons do as well. The Ravens in particular I am looking at because they are down to 19hz and efficient.

I am also looking at Wilson Sophias (like the size, and soundstage), and Avantgardes (probably don't have the room, but the new Solos could work)
