{"product_id":"vienna-acoustics-the-kiss-including-stands","title":"Vienna Acoustics The Kiss Including Stands","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Vienna Acoustics The Kiss does something that almost no speaker at any price can do: it puts a seven-octave coincident driver, a dedicated 9-inch woofer, and a precision-adjustable decoupled enclosure system into a package that disappears into your room. This is the same Flat Spider Cone technology from The Music, the Klimt Series flagship, scaled into a smaller three-way design sold here with its matching stands. Designed by Vienna Acoustics' chief designer Peter Gansterer, with its cones produced by Vienna Acoustics in Austria, The Kiss sits in the Klimt Series alongside The Music and represents the same obsession with phase-coherent, single-point-source reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eKey Features of The Kiss\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoincident Flat Spider Cone Driver:\u003c\/strong\u003e Patented 18cm coaxial midrange covering seven octaves from a single point source, with a 25mm hand-coated silk dome tweeter at its center using a neodymium magnet structure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e9\" Spider-Cone Woofer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Patented ultra-rigid NAWI cone with extremely low mass, in its own vented bass cabinet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMechanically Decoupled Music Center:\u003c\/strong\u003e The midrange\/tweeter enclosure sits on a drawn aluminum swivel joint with adjustment for both rake angle and toe-in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-Order Crossover:\u003c\/strong\u003e Modified first-order topology using highest-grade components for minimal phase shift through the vocal range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeparate Bass and Midrange Enclosures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Complete mechanical isolation between the woofer cabinet and the Music Center eliminates cabinet resonance transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoom Acoustics Controls:\u003c\/strong\u003e A rear-panel Room Acoustics plate below the bass port carries two controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e89dB Sensitivity \/ 4 Ohm Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compatible with quality amplifiers from 50 to 180 watts, including well-built tube designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStands Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matching 50 lb stands, 29 inches tall including spikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eThe Coincident Driver: Seven Octaves From a Single Point\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of The Kiss is the same patented Flat Spider Cone coincident driver found in The Music. This 18cm coaxial design places a hand-coated silk dome tweeter with a neodymium magnet structure at the center of a flat, radially-vaned midrange cone. The result is a single, phase-coherent point source covering the entire seven-octave vocal range and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flat cone surface eliminates the time and frequency-specific phase shifts that conventional curved cones produce. The cone material is X3P in a proprietary blend optimized through finite element analysis, manufactured by Vienna Acoustics in Austria. Peter Gansterer used FEA to achieve maximum rigidity while interfering as little as possible with a flat frequency response. The radial vane structure gives a flat piston the dynamic stability that normally requires a conventional cone shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center; margin: 20px 0;\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/5073\/8528\/files\/thekiss_inline_driver.jpg?v=1774453171\" alt=\"Vienna Acoustics The Kiss Flat Spider Cone coincident driver and Spider-Cone woofer detail\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eBass Architecture: Port-Loaded Spider-Cone Woofer\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kiss uses a single 9-inch (23cm) Spider-Cone woofer with Vienna's patented ultra-rigid NAWI cone. This driver is housed in its own independent bass reflex enclosure, mechanically separated from the Music Center above. The port-loaded design reaches a genuine 36Hz, delivering bass extension and authority that belies the compact enclosure dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe woofer's NAWI cone design prioritizes both stiffness and low mass, a combination that gives The Kiss fast, articulate bass without sacrificing extension. The separate enclosure means the woofer does its work without contaminating the purity of the coincident driver above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eThe Adjustable Music Center\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kiss's upper enclosure (housing the coincident driver) connects to the bass cabinet through a high-tech drawn aluminum swivel joint. This allows independent adjustment of both rake angle (forward\/backward tilt) and toe-in (left\/right rotation), controlled by precision-threaded screws on the rear panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat this means in practice: instead of a single sweet spot where everything locks into focus, The Kiss creates a broad listening zone. You aim the midrange dispersion pattern precisely for your room and seating position, reducing early reflections and broadening the optimal listening area. Setup takes time and attention, but the reward is a speaker that locks in like nothing else once dialed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center; margin: 20px 0;\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/5073\/8528\/files\/thekiss_inline_rear_panel.jpg?v=1774453171\" alt=\"Vienna Acoustics The Kiss rear view showing aluminum swivel joint, bass port, and Room Acoustics plate\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eThe Matching Stand\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe sell The Kiss with its matching Vienna Acoustics stands.
