Vienna Acoustics Vs Sonus Faber

I am going to compare Vienna Acoustic Beethovens and Sonus Faber Grand Pianos.

The speakers will have dual use for music and HT. I want accurate sound with good imaging. But, as they will also be used for HT, I don't want to give up strong tight bass.

I listened to the Beethovens and liked them. But, I have some concern about using the Beethovens, because they are rear ported, and I will need to place them very close to the wall. Therefore, speakers that need very precise placement could be a problem.

I haven't listened to the Grand Pianos yet, but I have been told their high end is not quite as good as the Beethovens.

Has anyone compared these speakers? Is this true?

I have listened to both and would buy the Beethovens based upon the following:
1-more cabinet colors available
2-most musical with tighter bass(for music listening)
3-better looking
4-nicer cabinets
5-better drivers
6-better crossovers

both speakers are imported by Sumiko and they instruct their dealers to emphasize the "set-up" for the Va's way to much. As far as the rear port you can play with sound dampening behind the speaker. A lot of your responses refer to TWeeters? You didn't mention it you letter is that where your buying them, do they have a return policy?
