Features	Conceived ahead of their time during the early 1990s, often driven by electronics capable of only moderate damping factors, the Vienna Acoustics Mahlers garnered an early and unjustified reputation for a warm musicality combined with an over-exuberant bass. Yet, a thorough break-in of over 700 hours, a synergistic matching with superior amplification capable of delivering high current with a high damping factor, as well as careful in-room placement through the Sumiko Masters Setup (see sidebar), reveal the authentic soul of these classics: tuneful authority, broad frequency extension, finely textured and filigreed harmonic resolution, and a superior ability to image and project a solid stage. Over a decade since their introduction, the Mahlers remain more than ever exquisite musical instruments for the music lover.
