CABINETS
Our speaker designs feature massive and inert cabinet
construction. Vienna Acoustics cabinets are designed with the
latest computer modelling techniques and use a combination
of amorphous materials in order to ensure that they are both
stiff and well damped. Additionally, our designs feature narrow
front baffles in order to promote accurate imaging. The
combination of precise build construction using furniture grade
finishing techniques and complex internal damping produce
designs capable of accurately rendering music.
CONNECTIONS
The massive Vienna Acoustics input terminals are designed to
accept banana plugs, spade terminals or bare wire connec-
tion. Make certain that all connections are well tightened
since poor contact between speaker cable and input
connector can lead to degradation of sound quality.
It is also a good idea to make a point of regularly cleaning all
connections in your system since oxidation will build up on a
regular basis. We use gold plated terminals which do not
oxidize, but contaminants or surface build-up on your spea-
ker cables and connectors may degrade sound quality.
While it is popular among some audiophile circles to fit
duplicate sets of binding posts for "bi-wiring", we have cho-
sen to follow sound engineering practises. Our crossovers are
configured as an organic whole, intended to optimize every
known aspect of driver integration.
It is our belief that with the high quality of wire currently
available, it is in most cases possible to obtain higher
performance from a single run of superior cable to two lesser
runs of cable. By keeping a single ground plane in our
