Any experience with Audio Physic / Vienna?

[SDSmith]

I am looking to upgrade my speakers (L,R and Center) but continue to use my Rotel 1067 to drive them. I think I've narrowed my L,R list down to:

Audio Physic Tempo
Vienna Acoustic Baby Grand
B&W 804S

I like them all (i listened to Mozart Grand, but not Baby Grands yet) and am having a hard time arriving at a favorite. Anyone have any personal experience with these mated to a 1067 or similar Rotel power?

I have not heard Focals or DynAudio yet, but might get a chance to sample them in the next couple days.

I have AP Spark 5, powered by Rotel separates (1068 & 1075), as front speakers in multichannel system. The room is not particularily big (18 sqm), no special acoustic adaptation. To my ears the system sounds good enough, when compared to my other hi end stereo, however it tends to be rather analytical, sometimes even bright (with poorer CD recordings). The Sparks ALWAYS require delicate support form a decent sub (B&W PV-1 in my case) to have enough bass cushion. As AP Spark 5 tend to be a bit more musical then Tempo, I wolud be rather sceptical on pairing AP Tempo with Rotel amp. My center speaker (AP Celsius) is based on Tempo transducers and I find it far too analytical. I think Vienna Acoustic Baby Grand (Beethoven BG, I mean) would be a great choice for 1067. Depending on the room size (like mine, for instance) Mozart Grand would run even better.

Thanks for the feedback.

I listened to the 804s again this weekend and sampled the Dynaudio of comparable price. Everytime I've listen to the 804s I really enjoy them (in three different shops with different electronics). I listened to them again on Friday (at the shop I've preferred above the others) driven by a Rotel integrated and with 1072 (which I also own) and decided to take the plunge. Hope to have them in the next week or two and can't wait.
