Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Concert Grand Reference
Vienna Acoustics floorstanding speaker fitted with a transparent X3P cone woofer featuring Spidercone technology and a hand-coated silk dome VA tweeter.
Description
The Beethoven Concert Grand Reference is a floorstanding speaker designed by Vienna Acoustics, intended to take pride of place in a hi-fi system oriented towards music listening. Its floorstanding format allows it to fit into a living room as the main listening reference, without requiring a separate power amplifier or subwoofer.
This speaker stands out for its transparent X3P cone woofer, fitted with Vienna Acoustics' own Spidercone technology. This diaphragm design aims to limit unwanted resonances in the cone while retaining good rigidity, which contributes to a more precise reproduction of bass and midrange. The upper part of the spectrum is handled by a silk dome VA tweeter, whose coating is applied by hand: this type of artisanal treatment is intended to refine the dome's behaviour and bring a smoother sonic texture to the treble.
The Beethoven Concert Grand Reference is aimed at music enthusiasts wanting a floorstanding speaker capable of delivering detailed sound, with particular attention paid to the manufacture of the drivers. It will suit relaxed listening, in a living room or dedicated room, where reproduction quality takes precedence over footprint.
What to check before buying used
The suspension of the woofer and the bonding of the transparent X3P cone deserve careful visual inspection: a tear, sagging or detachment permanently affects bass reproduction. Also check the condition of the tweeter's silk dome, which is prone to dents and fingerprints, as well as the cabinetwork (veneer, corners, feet), which reveals transport damage or damp storage. A test at moderate volume across the full frequency range makes it possible to detect any unwanted noise or abnormal cone resonance.
