The Secession was no dogmatic federation espousing artistic „rights“ and „wrongs“; rather, this was a group of forward thinkers – with Klimt on top – exploring new departures in creation, urging artists of every persuasion – architecture, painting, music – to come together for the sake of progression. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStanding for the unconventional, for freedom from constraints of any kind, Klimt created a worldwide symbol for Jugendstil. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Beethoven Frieze ranks among the major works of the Viennese Jugendstil and can only be comprehended in the context of this age and as a product of it – an age shaped by tendencies toward new departures in art, by an interest in international connections and by the attempt to bring the various arts together. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Frieze belongs to the most significant creations of Gustav Klimt, such as „The Kiss“, and the devoted music lover´s – and avowed Beethoven admirer´s – masterpiece „The Music“. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArt would never be experienced in quite the same way again. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePassion, skill, leadership, innovation, vision, harmony, teamwork: the words that evoke Klimt and his Art were also always target for Vienna Acoustics and the company’s latest achievement, the first model out of the Klimt Series, „THE MUSIC“.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRevolutionary Driver Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vienna Acoustics THE MUSIC introduces an innovative 18 cm (7-inch) flat, concentric driver designed to achieve exceptional phase coherence, spatial accuracy, and natural musical reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy reproducing seven octaves of music from a single, time-aligned acoustic plane, this remarkable driver creates a coherent wavefront reminiscent of ripples spreading across still water. The result is an exceptionally realistic soundstage, revealing spatial information and musical detail with extraordinary precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis patented technology builds upon Vienna Acoustics' extensive experience developing reinforced loudspeaker cones that maximize structural rigidity while minimizing moving mass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePatented Flat-Cone Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditional flat diaphragms can present challenges in achieving sufficient rigidity without adding excessive weight. Vienna Acoustics addresses this through its patented lightweight, single-sided reinforcement structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than relying on heavier sandwich constructions, the design incorporates precisely engineered ribs on the rear of the cone. By carefully controlling their number, shape, thickness, orientation, and placement, Vienna Acoustics can fine-tune the diaphragm's mechanical behavior and impulse response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cone material is based on TPX thermoplastic, blended with additional proprietary materials to achieve an optimal balance of stiffness, internal damping, and low mass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing finite element analysis, Vienna Acoustics founder and chief designer Peter Gansterer developed a sophisticated radial reinforcement pattern that distributes structural support exactly where it is needed. This construction creates an exceptionally rigid, flat radiating surface designed to minimize unwanted phase shifts across the driver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cones are produced by Vienna Acoustics in Austria, with complete driver assembly performed by Eton in Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCoaxial Music Center\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of THE MUSIC is its advanced coaxial Music Center, combining the flat midrange diaphragm with a specially designed silk dome tweeter featuring a neodymium magnet system positioned at its center.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis concentric arrangement allows a broad range of frequencies to originate from a common acoustic location, contributing to exceptional phase coherence, precise imaging, and a remarkably natural soundstage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Music Center is housed in its own dedicated enclosure, physically separated from the bass system to reduce unwanted interactions and preserve clarity throughout the critical midrange and high-frequency spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePowerful, Precisely Controlled Bass\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeneath the Music Center, THE MUSIC incorporates a separate, carefully engineered bass enclosure housing three proprietary 25 cm (approximately 10-inch) bass drivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese drivers feature Vienna Acoustics' ultra-rigid NAWI cones reinforced with patented Spidercone technology and manufactured by Eton in Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to reproduce frequencies from 18 Hz to 100 Hz, the bass system utilizes a sophisticated arrangement in which the two lower drivers operate in parallel to deliver the deepest bass frequencies, while the upper bass driver functions within its own dedicated chamber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis configuration provides exceptional low-frequency extension, dynamic impact, and precise control while maintaining seamless integration with the coaxial Music Center.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExtended High-Frequency Performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE MUSIC also incorporates a dedicated supertweeter manufactured by renowned high-end driver specialist ScanSpeak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUtilizing piezoelectric technology, this specialized driver extends high-frequency response from 20 kHz to an extraordinary 100 kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVienna Acoustics selected this technology for its dispersion characteristics at ultrasonic frequencies, allowing the loudspeaker to maintain an exceptionally open and expansive high-frequency presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdjustable Music Center \u0026amp;
