Vienna Acoustics Haydn Symphony Edition Signature
Compact 2-way bookshelf speaker with silk dome tweeter and Spider-Cone X3P mid-woofer, designed for flexible placement on a shelf or stand.
Description
The Haydn Symphony Edition Signature is a 2-way bookshelf speaker from Vienna Acoustics, designed to deliver a precise sound image in a compact format. It combines a silk dome tweeter and a patented mid-woofer driver within a small cabinet, suited to placement on a shelf as well as on a dedicated speaker stand.
The 1-inch hand-treated tweeter, fitted with a triple neodymium magnet, works alongside a Spider-Cone X3P mid-woofer designed specifically for this range. The system relies on a front-vented bass-reflex design, with the QB3 quasi-Butterworth impulse-optimising function, intended to limit port noise while allowing closer positioning to walls. The two-way crossover filter adopts a 6 dB/12 dB Bessel-type slope, with copper circuit paths oriented according to signal flow.
On the crossover component side, there are MKP capacitors with 1% tolerance, air-core coils with 0.7% tolerance and non-inductive metal film resistors, also at 1% tolerance. Frequency response spans from 40 Hz to 20 kHz, with a sensitivity of 88.5 dB and an impedance of 4 ohms; the brand recommends an amplifier of 50 to 180 watts.
This model is aimed at music lovers seeking a compact speaker capable of fitting into a living room without requiring floor space, while aiming for detailed reproduction. The bookshelf format and placement flexibility make it an option for stereo or home cinema systems where footprint must remain limited.

What to check before buying used
The suspensions of the Spider-Cone X3P mid-woofer warrant a visual and tactile check to rule out any sagging or cracking due to age, while the tweeter's silk dome should remain free of deformation or impact marks. The front-vented bass-reflex port should be inspected to check for the absence of foam or obstruction that could affect the QB3 function. An examination of the cabinetwork is also advisable: veneer, corners and lacquered finish often reveal the speaker's handling history, as can the connection terminals at the rear, which are sometimes prone to oxidation.
