Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Grand

Hi All,

Just wanted to say WOW. My dealer has a pair of these. It's quite surprising as he tells me they are not released yet but he has received one of the first pairs.

Visually they are stunning. He has them in Cherry which is far more interesting than Beech, not quite Rosewood though. He has already put about 100 hours on them and they sound amazing. I went there to test the Beethovens (a demo pair) and fortunately he had the grand set up so we could do an A-B.

No comparison! The 3 bass drivers really kick up the bass response another notch. And the scanspeak tweeter developed for VA is really something special.

If only a mortage wasn't required for a pair!

PS. They were being powered by a set of Audio Research Monoblocks (not sure which ones), Audio Research Preamp and source, and Audioquest top-of-the-line cabling throughout.

I think he even said these are prototypes. Funny, in South Africa we get things much later than the rest of the world but not this case. The owner is from Vienna so I think he must have some intimate contacts at VA.

MSRP is around 2000 Euro each (converted), around 4000 euro a pair.

Available in Europe only, like the 'Signatures' versions I guess? I wish Sumiko would import the whole line.

Tweeter no longer sells the VA line.

Flemke, that's just as well, since Tweeter did such a dis-service to VA with such poor demo conditions.
