I actually work for Magnolia, and I have found that the Bachs are much better without a subwoofer. If you only have a stereo setup, the Bachs are better for you. If you are able to attach a Rel sub, the Mozarts are going to have a much better range and much more full sound. To my ear, the Mozarts give a much larger sound stage with much more accurate tones when played with a Rel Q sub. And you are also quite right about the Magnolia store not always having the best setup. If you want to hear the best sound on the VA speakers, ask for the Denon 397 Stereo receiver.

Why did Magnolia drop Primare. No offense, but hooking up the Vienna's to a Denon stereo receiver does no justice? I'm confused as to why they went lower end on their electronics selection.
Hooking the VA Bach up to a Denon receiver is like lipstick on a pig. They truely deserve better...much better. Shame the only place you can find them now is at a stinkin Best Buy.
They are also available at Harvey Electronics in NYC Metro. They carry Mac, Krell, higher end NAD. And their rooms are much better than Magnolia. The setup at the Magnolia in Bridgewater NJ is a disgrace.
When you say "the Bachs are much better without a subwoofer," do you mean, "much better than the Mozarts"?
...that Bach is better than Mozart if you don't have a sub, or that Bach is better without a sub than with?
