Vimberg Speakers

Hi Guys,

Anybody owns Vimberg speakers?
Have you compared the normal version to the D version? (Diamond tweeter)
What were your listening impressions?
What do you drive them with? Are they difficult to drive being 4 Ohms?
Anyone heard them with the constellations Mono 1.0?
Are they difficult to place in the room?
Are they versatile speakers?

I'm going to rebuild a system from scratch and I'm interested in the Mino.
I don't want to spend more on power than on the speakers (ie too difficult to drive)

Any insight is appreciated,

Thanks

I compared the contriva g2 to the tonda d and although the tonda was excellent the contriva g2 was far superior in every respect. Soundstage, imaging, extreme detail retrieval. It wasn’t close.

Hey @audiotroy  yup heard them side by side at a dealer with exact same system (high end tidal system). The dealer did say that maybe the slight difference of positions, effected things with the vimbergs being further out and the tidals being further in? Not sure if that would make a massive difference in the detail retrieval and clarity I heard coming from the tidal.
Talked to Doug  white about this and he confirmed that throughout the two lines there is quite a huge difference.
But I am happy if I am wrong since we can all save money on vimberg!
How do you like the vimberg compared to the other heavy hitters you have sold like the persona? Or other of your favorite speakers?

@audiotroy  How do the vimbergs compare to the focal utopia line like scala utopia evo?
Also I believe the piano G2 is not that far off price wise from the mino  is that right? Would the G2 be a better option then?
I compared the tonda D to the contriva g2 and found the g2 far superior (but enjoyed the tonda D as well).
