The Bösendorfer VC7 loudspeaker is the flagship of the Bösendorfer Loudspeaker line.
With two front-mounted acrylic-soaked silk fiber tweeters to the fore and four 130mm mid-range/bass drivers mounted laterally (two on the outside and two on the inside!) within its impressive 5-foot-5-inch cabinet, these speakers represent the greatest embodiment of the completely unique Acoustic Active Principal. Built after the guiding principal that a purity of musical sound should be achieved through a dedicated and tunable resonating body, this loudspeaker follows precisely the same dictum which applies to the Bösendorfer Piano: the bigger the instrument, the bigger the sound.
And with the greatest surface area of any Bösendorfer Loudspeaker, the VC7 is the speaker which is allowed to reflect its sonic beauties with a specially-veneered case to match. Clad even in the simple sheen of a traditional high-gloss black finish, these loudspeakers cannot help but project a personality of the highest and most eye-fetching elegance.
The VC7 incorporates adjustable solid brass down-turning floor spikes to help achieve the necessary separation from floor.
"The VC 7, hugely entertaining and involving,...a degree of sheer realism...the ability to make you believe you're hearing real instruments in a real acoustic is what makes this speaker so remarkable."
–Paul Messenger, HiFi Choice
"In short, highly involving, three-dimensional, true-to-life, living sound as close to the original performance as ever heard...the sheer musicality and the sense of 'being there'...the VC 7 is a masterpiece."
–Howard Popeck, Hi-Fi News
"It is so expressive and musical that conventional hi-fi criteria have ceased to exist...the VC 7 is built out of pure joy for music."
–Marco Kolks, Listening Experience
