{"product_id":"vienna-acoustics-poetry","title":"Vienna Acoustics Poetry","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne hundred and ten pounds of center channel speaker. The Vienna Acoustics Poetry is a full-range, three-way center channel from the Klimt series, Vienna's flagship line. It uses the same patented Flat-Spider-Cone coincident driver found in \u003ca href=\"\/products\/vienna-acoustics-the-music-floorstanding-speakers\"\u003eThe Music\u003c\/a\u003e, a 7-inch flat midrange with a hand-crafted silk dome tweeter mounted at its center, flanked by dual 9-inch Spider-Cone woofers, each individually vented. At 36 inches wide and reaching down to 32 Hz, Poetry is designed for systems where the center channel has to keep pace with full-range floorstanders, not just fill in dialogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eKey Features of the Vienna Acoustics Poetry\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlat-Spider-Cone Coincident Driver\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\" flat midrange with integrated 1\" (2.5 cm) hand-crafted silk dome tweeter (neodymium motor) for true point-source imaging and phase-coherent output across the vocal range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual 9\" Spider-Cone Woofers\u003c\/strong\u003e: Individually vented via large rear-mounted ports, on either side of the sealed enclosure that houses the coincident driver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKlimt Series Voicing\u003c\/strong\u003e: Designed as the reference center channel match for The Music flagship floorstander, with shared driver technology and tonal character\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree-Way System with Integrated Subwoofers\u003c\/strong\u003e: 32 Hz to 20 kHz full-range response at 90 dB sensitivity and 8 ohms, eliminating the need for a separate subwoofer in many rooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLCR Capable\u003c\/strong\u003e: Can be deployed as a horizontal center channel or in a left-center-right configuration with three units, or as surround channels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinishes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Available in true Piano Black or Sapele veneer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptional Dedicated Stand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Purpose-built 90 lb stand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eThe Coincident Driver: Why Poetry Sounds Different\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost center channel speakers use separate tweeter and midrange drivers positioned side by side, which creates phase and timing differences at the crossover point. Poetry takes a fundamentally different approach. Vienna Acoustics' patented Flat-Spider-Cone places the 1-inch (2.5 cm) silk dome tweeter at the exact acoustic center of the 7\" flat midrange driver, creating a true coincident (coaxial) source. Both drivers radiate from the same point in space, which means the sound arrives at your ears with correct phase and timing regardless of where you sit. For a center channel, where dialogue clarity and imaging stability across a wide seating area are critical, this architecture is a significant advantage over conventional multi-driver layouts. The neodymium-driven tweeter extends smoothly into the midrange frequencies, while the flat midrange cone provides the dispersion control that keeps voices locked to the screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eBass Architecture: Two Individually Vented Woofers\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePoetry's two 9-inch Spider-Cone woofers sit on either side of the sealed enclosure that houses the coincident driver, and each woofer is individually vented through its own large rear-mounted port. The result is bass response down to 32 Hz from a center channel speaker, which means Poetry can reproduce the full weight of a film soundtrack or orchestral recording without rolling off where it matters. The 8-ohm impedance and 90 dB sensitivity make it straightforward to drive, though quality amplification from 50 to 300 watts is recommended to take full advantage of the dynamic capabilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003ePoetry vs. Theatro: Choosing the Right Vienna Acoustics Center\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBesides Poetry, Vienna Acoustics makes the Maestro Grand Reference and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/vienna-acoustics-theatro-center-channel-speaker\"\u003eTheatro\u003c\/a\u003e. The Theatro uses two 5.5-inch transparent XPP cone mid-woofers and a separate silk dome tweeter, and Vienna names the Maestro Grand Reference as the match for the Beethoven Concert Grand and Baby Grand Reference. Poetry is the Klimt series center, built around the coincident Flat-Spider-Cone driver shared with The Music, and is the correct match for Klimt-based systems. The key sonic difference: Poetry's coincident driver produces point-source imaging that conventional two-driver centers cannot match, while its dual 9-inch woofers provide substantially more bass output and dynamic headroom than Theatro's smaller drivers. If your front speakers are Klimt series, Poetry is the only center channel that maintains the family voicing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eVienna Acoustics Poetry Stand\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard orders ship without the stand.
