Vienna Acoustics or Proac


I am currently using MF A5 integrated, Paradisea+ and Cambridge 840C and I am looking for new speakers. I have narrowed it down to Vienna or Proac. Here are two pairs VA Baby Grand Beethoven or Proac Studio 140 and VA Grand Beethoven or Proac D28. I have heard 140 and Grand with my A5, however at different places so I need some validation. I think I prefer 140 over VA Baby Grand. I also prefer VA Grand over 140 (as I should according to the prices :-)).
Any advice? I like to listen to mainly Indie Rock, some Jazz and Classical music.
Isn't VA Grand or D28 too much for the quality of my electronics?
The room is quite open and about 23x15.
Thanks.

I own the Baby Grands but have admired Proac for years, so it's easy to understand your indecision. I don't think that you could go far wrong with either, but I, obviously, chose the VAs. They work very well in my roughly 16x36 room. Do have your dealer do the Sumiko Master Set to ideally position them.

Your electronics will be fine, but either speaker will benefit when you upgrade. Placement is important for both brands, but with VA you get the benefit of the dealer knowing the Master Set methodology.
