Hi.. Am about to take delivery on a pair of Mozart Grands this Saturday....I know these are not quite "audiophile" speakers but I figured they were close enough that this forum was the lesser of the evils as far as where to post, heheh.
We auditioned Maggies, Definitive Technology Mythos SBL, Monitor Audio RX 6, Martin Logan Motion 12, Vienna Acoustics Bach and Mozarts, and the Vandersteen 2ce. Trying to keep things around US $3K or less. The Mozarts sounded the best of anything we listened to for the music we prefer (we're not having head-banging rock n roll parties here) in the living room setting we have, and---at least in advance of getting them home---seemed a good fit for our not-quite audiophile gear and relatively modest needs. The Maggies were great in the audition but, because of the charactaristics of our room, we really aren't able to have a "listening spot" and we were advised by two different salespeople that because the Maggies were more spot-oriented, we'd likely be unhappy with the results. Apparently, the Mozarts have more of a "fill the room" presence which is what we need....guess we'll see soon. And, yes, the Marantz specs says it'll deliver 100W at 4 ohms and we have confirmed with Sumiko, the V.A. reps, that it is compatible with the V.A. speakers. Anybody have these and like/dislike these Mozarts and/or have any hints for getting the best out of these aesthetically lovely things? Thanks in advance for any feedback. -- rgro Rick System information ------------------------ Duet SBC running 7.5.1 r8837, an SBR running firmware V 65.
