Description :
The Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Baby Grand features a 3-way design that represents the heart and soul of the Grand range. The speakers allows epic concert hall performances to take place in the comfort of listening rooms of average dimension. Dynamic, open and highly musical, this 3-way design features dual 6" XPP bass drivers, a single 6" X3P midrange and 1" silk dome tweeter. The remarkably natural and transparent midrange and tweeter drivers, coupled with two bass units, produce an outstanding balance, a homogeneity, integrating finest heights to real slam base. And that balance extends to its industrial design, where the proportions are perfectly rendered, the robust front and rear baffles balancing out the extra depth of the cabinet to confer a sense of substance and style that are far more than skin deep. Handcrafted enclosures in beautiful wood finishes define the Vienna Acoustics aesthetic to complement any interior.
The Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Baby Grand's sound quality are as good as its aesthetic. They are delicate, nimble and a touch soft spoken but not lean or anemic. The midrange is supple and warm and the tweeter is extremely natural though not quite airy or forward, which gives the Baby Grand a more relaxed, smooth sound across the upper midrange and treble. The bass can go surprisingly low, exhibiting tremendous composure and control. The Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Baby Grand brings out orchestras with clarity. The high percussion ringing and fine, the low gongs thundering and reverberant. Small and large dynamics married well, and the Beethovens unveiled subtle dynamics within the soundfield without breaking the ties between instrumental lines, allowing the full orchestra to shine. The lows were room-filling yet did not lose their musicality. The speakers played the organ's upper ranks, so small and exquisite, as delicately as if turning pages of whisper-thin papyrus. The Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Baby Grand does not dish out a pyrotechnic type of performance. Instead, it specializes in sublimity, giving the listener to fully appreciate the artists' performances and deliver a rich and rewarding musical experience.
