Klimt Series: The Music by Vienna Acoustics
Why Would We Name a Speaker Line after a Painter?
It seemed only natural to name the absolute Reference Vienna Acoustics has ever created in homage to one of the most thrilling artists the city has ever unleashed – a man whose immense achievements in visual art were profoundly inspired by music.
Passion, skill, leadership, innovation, vision, harmony, teamwork: the words that evoke Klimt and his Art were also always target for Vienna Acoustics and the company’s latest achievement, the first model out of the Klimt Series, "THE MUSIC".
Revolution.
Vienna Acoustics´ "THE MUSIC" introduces a truly revolutionary new flat, concentric 18 cm driver that closely approximates the Platonic ideal for which speaker designers have been striving. It places 7 octaves of music in a single, phase coherent time plane. With a wave launch that mimics a „pebble dropped in a still pond", this remarkable driver reproduces spatial coherence unfamiliar to anyone, save perhaps the original recording engineer.
Above and Below.
While the top-unit handles mid and upper bass in its own enclosure, below this primary driver we built a seperate large enclosure, featuring 3 proprietary bass drivers, handling the frequencies from 18 Hz to 100 Hz. The 2 lower units produce the lowest bass, working in parallel, while the upper bass operates in its own chamber.
Finally, a remarkable Super-tweeter, tops the lower enclosure, extending response from 20.000 Hz. upwards to 100.000 Hz.
Form follows function.
The total decoupling from the bass chambers allows the coax music center, in its dedicated housing, to reach the absolute optimum in clarity and naturalness in sound.
The cabinetry is clearly evolved to make the most of this technology; the seperate top-unit enclosure is decoupled from the bass enclosure by a high-tec, drawn aluminium swivel joint, which allows optimum room tuning by enable not only adjustment for rake, but also for toe-in.
As always, the speakers´veneer and finish quality is to the highest of standards. "THE MUSIC" is available in true Piano Black version and Sapele veneer finish.
