Summary:
I enjoy listening to them in my small bedroom in a back up system. They really seduce your ears as lovely as they catch your eyes. Quality wirings and a fine adjustment in their positionings are absolutely required.

Strengths:
Heavy and rich beautiful bass (not for kicking in your chest,but for a pleasent sensible midsize tight bass). Beautifully musically adjusted. Excellent chic cabinet and grills.

Weaknesses:
No Bi-Wiring
Some may need more bass reproduction in their large listening rooms.

Summary:
These are amazing speakers. Very wide, well defined sound stage. Midrange and high end are silky smooth and completely natural sounding, bass is deep, tight and never boomy. The Jamo Concert 7, the top of the Jamo line around 1990, sounded distant and almost muddy by comparison.

The cabinets are gorgeous, wife approves. Adding 20 pounds of sand to each speaker was a nuisance, but worth the effort - It really takes care of resonances.

Strengths:
Spacious, natural sound ove the full range; attractive (to say the least) cabinets; modest footprint.

Weaknesses:
I had to put 20 pounds of sand into each speaker to get the bass nice and tight.

Summary:
I purchased these speakers from a dealer as demo units and have been extremely pleased with the build and the sound of the speaker. They truly create a pleasant listening experience. The imaging is excellent, the crossover is smooth and indetectable, and the high end is smooth. The only comlaint that I would have would be below 50hz. But, this is to be expected in a speaker with only a 7" bass driver. These are a bass reflex cabinet design with a rear port so one could control the level of bass depending on the placement in relationship to a rear wall. I use a small Velodyne sub-woofer crossed over at 50hz. It makes an awesome combination with a very natural and full sound. The cabinet work is very nice. I have the Beech cabinets and have filled the bottoms with a combination of sand and lead shot. I have listened to them for about 80 hours so far and have grown to love the sound. Over this last weekend I auditioned a pair of DynAudio T2.5 speakers. At $4,500 I was more pleased with my decision to buy the Vienna Acoustics.

Strengths:
Great imaging, very nice sound, great cabinets, and small size.

Weaknesses:
The very low end.

Price Paid:  $1500.00

Summary:
great sound stage. good bass especially with sand fill. clear and crisp through out ranges. Hours of enjoyment.

Summary:
These speakers consistently amaze me with their warm, smooth balance and luxuriously deep and extended bass. Occasionally their balance sounds rather sweet but to be fair this promotes lengthly listening. They are are not the best with rock, especially those recordings with poor production values but do make it sound large and involving. Their dynamics and good soundstage transparancy can make classical sound eerily realistic, this is allied to natural, projected vocals. Unfortunately they have recently developed a tweeter sibliance problem but this will hopefully remedied soon.

Strengths:
Warm and smooth with a naturalness that makes you listen.

Weaknesses:
Occasionally too sweet sounding. Tweeter problem recently developed
