Vienna Acoustics 'The Music'


I love the less expensive VA sound and really want to hear their statement product. Is there anywhere in the greater Chicago a guy could go to listen to these speakers? TIA Steve

I just purchased a pair of The Music speakers which are currently going through the break in period. I will tell you this, they are a full bodied speaker with tremendous sound. The sound from the coaxial music center which sits on top of the bass cabinet is phenomenal.
Hello Falconquest:

I have had the Vienna Acoustics- The Music since last December and must say I am most happy with them at this point, however I must say they have a long break in period for the bass side. The coaxial mid range speaker in the music center is pristine for female vocals and horns. Very smooth and dynamic. I power my speakers with Jeff Rowland equipment (925 monos, Chorus and PSU). All cables are Cardas and Shunyata. To me a great match of all cables and equipment.


Getting back to the basic question as to where they can be heard, I believe David Lewis Audio in Philadelphia has a pair on display. That is the dealer I purchased mine from and had a great experience dealing with them.

Be glad you do not own Avalon speakers with diamond tweeters. They charge $8100 per tweeter. Taking about a rip. 

I own VA The Music as well and really like them. Being that the tweeter is a coaxial mid range driver, I see where the cost would be higher than a tweeter itself. I do agree that $2100 is high, however I think their sound is spectacular. Good luck with the new tweeters.
I purchased a pair of VA-The Music speakers about 18 months ago and must say I am extremely happy with them. Their coaxial midrange is spectacular. They have excellent bass and sometimes slightly heavy in the mid-bass, but they sure can put out the music. Nothing wimpy about them and for jazz and female voices they really shine. The only caveat, I will mention is that they have a long break in time.
Hello Jon:

Thanks for your response. Just out of curiosity, how far do you have your speakers from the wall and how big is your room. The mid bass issue which is only minor has always been some thing I wanted to correct, however it is only an issue with certain types of music. I am using a Dspeaker X4 room correction device to correct the problem when it bothers me, however that is quite infrequent. I agree they are excellent speakers.
Hello Jon:

Thanks for getting back to me. Currently I am using Isoclean Power Tip Toe TT-009 bases under my spikes. Do you think the Harmonix brand will be an up-grade? I have hardwood floors and love how the Isoclean bases slide which makes it easy for fine tuning their location. 

Also where can you buy the Harmonix brand. 

Thanks for all your feedback.

Hello Steve:

Are you still interested in a pair of Vienna Acoustics -The Music. I am going to be selling my pair which are 2 1/2 years old. They are a wonderful speaker, however I update every 3 years.

Thanks,
Sam
