Paul was referring to the smaller Klimt Series ('The Kiss'?) I believe. ...Not really sure; I was confused, and still am.

Thing is I believe to have posted that same picture before (with 'The Music' speakers) and Paul said that it wasn't it.
{Maybe it was a different picture - but it was still 'The Music' in that picture.}
* I know that 'The Kiss' is the stand-mount, mini-me version of 'The Music'.
** Makes sense to me too: Nick's post above describes what I thought Paul was asking (gear used with VA speakers).
I had a brief power interruption (PC crash); so now I just completed my above post.
{Windy today here on the Island.}
I think there are now 3 speaker models…The Standmount Kiss, The original BIG Klimt the Music and now a Baby Klimt.
The pictures you refer to are the babies.
The big ones:

Plus No super tweeter
Yeah, I noticed that too, but I deliberately forgot to mention; just to see if you were alert.

Firstly, I'm thrilled those big Focals would't fit in my freight elevator. Is Vitus showing??? Photos? Thanks!!
Hi Bruce,
I just received this table in November so it's new to me and offering so much over my previous tables I'm just taking it all in enjoying, I have yet to try any other arms. I will eventually install one in the rear left setting - on my short list to date is Schroeder LT - DaVinci Master Reference Virtu. TechDas is coming out with one also so I'll wait to see, their cart has peaked my interest also, Jack and his brother Jim from the Philippines now both own the same AF-1 table and have shared only positives.
Bruce I do have some Graham arm experience and was kinda shaking my head originally, why? Well I had a Phantom II and then got my REED which in my system I felt was superior over all and preferred so I sold the Phantom. Bob has assured me the Elite is a far superior design and due to my current set-up sounding so marvelous isn't concerning me but in the end once I add my other arm I will find out
Ha Dev! Firstly no I'm not BB from Puget--he is much smarter than I!
Secondly thank you for the controlled responses and glad the setup you have --how impressive I must admit some jealousy there-- is working to you satisfaction
Once again personal prefs -as is so prevalent in our game comes to the fore.
So please enjoy the Music--after all that's what it's all about
Good luck and Good Listening
Over and Out
Bruce

Here is the lowdown on the VA Music of the Klimt series vs. The new Imperial of the Lizst seriesYeah, I noticed that too, but I deliberately forgot to mention; just to see if you were alert.
Price 29.9k vs 12.5k
fully articulated tweeter module that can move up and down and side to side swivel. The imperial has a smaller different tweeter in a module that can only swivel left and right. To change angle of front edge the 4 feet on the base can b raised or lowered to sort of tilt the speaker toward the desired listener ear height.
Nicer veneer and finish on the Music.
3 adjustable levers to tune speaker to your room.
+supertweeter and larger woofers down to 18HZ
As the Music was paired with VTL 7.5 and D'ag monoblocks it was ez to c why it sounded so much finer than the new Imperial which may b perfect for smaller rooms at a lower budget. I think Primare amps were used on the Imperial.
Cheers,
Nick

Thank you, Myles. That is the best show report I have ever read. And I read them all from stereophile to absolute sound to positive feedback to bloggers. You cover not just equipment but people. You cover well known brands and lesser known brands. You cover vinyl deliciously. You give enough information and photos - name the products, give some detail and share your POV. And that last part is most important. You aren't just reporting the weather - you offer some context and opinion and comparison (eg "in contrast to the vast majority of rooms heard at this and other shows--was that there was actually really a midrange! What a concept! And no evidence of that artificial edge that I've heard in the other TAD models over the years"). Superb. And appreciated. You (and Alan Sircom) are the two best reviewers on planet earth right now. Cheers.
