Vienna Acousics Bach Grand Floorstanding Speakers Feature

• New proprietary cabling consisting of large scale solid copper conductors with each cable pairing precisely twisted a prescribed number of turns for the particular length of each cable so that any noise injection through the wiring harness is avoided.
• Cabinets boast massive baffles that are 1.6? thick 45% thicker than previous models for maximum rigidity and resonance control. Maple and Cherry finishes join a revised Rosewood applied to the highest of standards using the state-of-the-art veneer-wrapping technology for the front and rear baffles first pioneered on the Classic series. A true Piano Black lacquer is now available the quality of which will permit inclusion into any living room as it mirrors its surroundings.
• BACH Grand is 100% shielded.Special decoupling and stability optimization through the use of solid steel spikes (Bach Grand optionally features a high-pressure die cast aluminum spike assembly).
• TThe front porting of the TBR system utilized in the Bach GrThe wedge fulfills additional and very welcome functions in the design. As mentioned above the large size of the wedge allows the tweeter to be mounted within the throat of the port resulting in a very compact driver arrangement that improves phase coherency and overall performance by creating a near point-source configuration. In addition the large internal volume allows for a chamber to vent the back-wave of the driver. To optimally use the chamber a unique circular back wave pass through slot runs the entire circumference of the back of the driver as opposed to a central hole. Because of this feature the specially designed tweeter for this assembly profits from unconstrained air-decompression that approaches the theoretically ideal conditions of free-field construction. As a result the tweeter dome operates unconstrained even as it descends into the lower midrange. The entire assembly is constructed of aluminum produced by expensive high-pressure die-cast tools. As with all Vienna Acoustics loudspeakers a hand coated silk dome tweeter was specifically designed featuring a specially developed ferrofluid damping system in combination with a super-light four ohm voice coil for superior resolution of high frequency extremes while achieving perfect midrange warmth and clarity. A completely new linear crossover layout with the copper circuit paths arranged in the direction of electron flow takes into account the potential for sympathetic and parasitic interactions among crossover components that may inject unwanted noise and distortions while allowing for more direct and efficient transfer of signal to the drivers which leads to a greater level of detail and purity. New gold-and-silver alloy terminal for lowest transfer resistance and durability are directly connected to the crossover circuit board to ensure complete current delivery and no loss of clarity in the signal transfer from binding post to crossover
• Innovative and unique grilles feature an aluminum frame that incorporates an integral V-shaped phase diffuser to control dispersion so that they can be left on for all but the most critical listening without an adverse influence on performance. In fact it can be used as an additional tuning device for the audio enthusiast benefiting soundstage presentation both in depth and stereo imaging. As an additional benefit the V-shaped groove running the length of the middle of the grille results in a more elegant appearance for the speaker.

This item was a display model in one of our stores.Item does show some signs of handling. Product comes in original box but includes ONLY THE SPEAKER NOTHING ELSE. The aspect of Bach?s mathematically precise compositions that demanded astoundingly inventive solutions to musical problems is fully evident in the Vienna Acoustics speaker that bears his name. Of note the beautiful floor-standing cabinet features Twin Balanced Reflex (TBR) loading of the potent 7? X3P mid-bass driver. TBR combines a conventional rear port with a groundbreaking airflow control port on the front of the cabinet allowing for class-leading bass output and control. Further the complex front port system provides an extraordinarily compact driver configuration by positioning the refined 1? triple stacked silk dome tweeter directly in front of the port contributing to a sonic presentation of power and verve that belies the speakers? compact proportions. Achieving Mozart quality sound in a compact floor-standing enclosure this diminutive two-way design joins an assembly for high fidelity that belies its size and price. Handcrafted enclosures in beautiful wood finishes define the Vienna Acoustics aesthetic. The Grand Series features the following selections to complement any interior: Piano black Maple Cherry and Rosewood.
