Vienna Acoustics Concert Grande Manual De Usuario
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/silver terminals
which do not oxidize, but contaminants or surface build-up on your speaker 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 per-formance from a single run of superior cable to two
lesser runs of cable. By keeping a single ground plane in our crossover design, we are
better able to control the many variables that can be negatively affected by poorly
executed bi-wiring choices. The result for you is consistently superior musical
reproduction.

CABLING
We encourage and recommend the use of high quality speaker cables and believe
them to be an interesting tool for the enthusiast in obtaining maximum enjoyment
from their music reproduction system. High quality cabling is capable of finetuning a
system for performance. As with any purchase, listen carefully and allow your ears to
guide you.
It is beyond the scope of this manual to provide a useful compendium concerning
cables, or to make specific brand or model recommendations. A number of magazines
do in fact list cable recommendations.

AMPLIFICATION
Our speakers demonstrate outstanding sonic results with a variety of amplifier types.
They feature a combination of high efficiency and gentle impedance curves that allow
them to be used with either solid state or tube electronics.
However, it is still important to select an amplifier with care since the full potential of
your system will only be revealed by quality electronics. Amplifier designs do have
distinct and different sounds.
It is important to listen carefully to the match of amplifier and loudspeaker to ensure
that the combination works well sonically for you. Though rated amplifier wattage
bears little correlation to either sound quality or drive capability the user is cautioned
that amplifiers of low wattage ratings, when stressed beyond their limits can produce
audible amounts of distortion, as such as non-audible high frequencies. This distortion
can and will damage loudspeaker components and will not be covered by warranty.
