 Speakers as Functional Art by Vienna Acoustics
Vienna Acoustics presents a line of speakers featuring elegant, modern styling and
true high-end sound in a slim package that hangs right on your wall,
just like your flat panel display or projection screen. Yet, if we
played them for you in a darkened room, the sound would make you believe
we had spent hours dialing in the positions of five floor-standing
speakers eating up valuable real estate in your room. Talk about having
your cake and eating it, too! How do they do it? Peter Gansterer
applied his consummate skills as a speaker designer to a design brief
that simply read, “Make them sound incredible, but get them out of the
way! Oh, and they have to look great, too.” He began by cataloging all
the issues that arise when a state-of-the-art speaker is placed too
close to the wall, and then engineering them out. Then he applied first
class componentry, from the complex aluminum chassis to the
purpose-built woofers and tweeters and the closely matched
crossovers. The result is a speaker with astonishing bass power and
weight which can create a soundstage- a sense of three-dimensional
space- with realistic depth and image specificity that can compete with
some of the best high-end designs. And all of this while positioned in
your room where none of those speakers work properly. Brilliant!
Available in three sizes-Schönberg ($2,500/pair), Webern ($795/each), and
Berg ($500/each) and in either natural aluminum or gloss black and with
optional floor stands for “at-wall” placement if your environment
doesn’t support wall mounting. No matter which your priority,
audiophile-quality sound or interior design, we are sure you will be
impressed.
