Klimt Series™ – Owners Manual
THE MUSIC / THE KISS / POETRY
Thank you for your investment in one of the world´s most advanced loudspeaker
designs available. We have worked tirelessly to produce this loudspeaker system
and trust that you will enjoy the musical performance this product offers. To
achieve this new level of performance, special care has been taken in the
construction, the materials and the execution of this entirely new design. In
order to take full advantage of your new loudspeaker system, critical setup
attention must be taken to ensure that it performs as intended.
Please read this manual carefully and utilize the setup suggestions discussed.
Ultimately, the most important part of the process is to listen to music and
enjoy. Our suggestions are just that, suggestions. If you find in your listening
environment that a slightly different adjustment in setup results in a more
enjoyable sonic picture, then follow it. All rooms are different and thus, we
cannot give an accurate, single installation instruction guide that will cover all
possible environments. Please feel free to contact us or your local distributor
with any setup related questions. It is our collective goal to ensure that you
achieve the best possible performance out of this sophisticated product.
Thank you again and happy listening.
Sincerely,

The top woofer occupies its own cabinet with dedicated venting. The two additional woofers share their own dedicated cabinet with dual venting ports. The three Vienna Acoustics proprietary X3P Spider-Cone™ woofers are then run in parallel with the upper bass unit most directly extending the bass performance of the Music Center and the two lower bass units aiding in further extending bass and overall dynamics. -

In addition to the special care given to the complete speaker design, we also believed that it was necessary to design a stand that is not only beautiful, but more importantly offers the requisite stability necessary to take full advantage of the speaker´s capabilities. -

volume levels? If so, you should consider a more powerful amplifier. Second, do you have an unusually large space that these speakers are being installed in? If so, again you should consider a higher powered amplifier. Otherwise, our recommendation is to select the finest sounding quality amplifier in the fifty and above wattage range (see specifications). -

The second stage is much more gradual and one that may not be noticed immediately. This is the fifty to approximately three-hundred hour period. During this final period of break-in, there is a further refinement in the micro- dynamics or inner detail that will become more defined. In other words, the presence of the musicians becomes more intimate. - Page 8 Following the positioning or toeing-in, attention needs to be turned to the distance of the speakers with respect to the back and side walls of your listening room. While it is possible to achieve positive results positioning the speakers close to the rear wall, this position typically gives up some potential bass extension as well as some soundstage depth.
- Page 9 recommended starting point from the side walls. However, because of the driver selection and their dispersion characteristics, it is possible to get quite close to the side walls with care. In the event that the room does not allow anything else, distance apart will be far more critical than the actual distance from the side walls.

3.3 Positioning Poetry As with other sophisticated center channel loudspeakers, specific setup instructions from your processor should be read and followed before continuing. There are still a couple specific recommendations that should be followed in conjunction with the processor´s instructions. First, this is a full range speaker system capable of great dynamic output. -

Toe-in of the overall cabinet as well as distance between the speakers can also result in improvements in overall clarity and resolution. If there appears to be a doubling or sluggishness to the center of the sound stage, try pulling the speakers slightly further apart or aim the overall cabinet further away from the listening position. -
