Scope

The reference speaker GRAN VIOLA is marking the top of the WLM line. Compared to the smaller sisters, the box volume and wall thickness are enlarged. Following similar simple blue prints, however trying to improve on details, an unusual speaker was born, almost impossible to judge with the usual criteria. Its exceptional sound capabilities are not achieved by complex technical solutions or exaggerated use of material. Thanks to the simple and convincing WLM-concept the GRAN VIOLA SIGNATURE is made to master any kind of music and can not be disturbed by any sudden musical impulse or the most difficult dynamics.

Construction

The larger box is made from multiple layer real wood (birch) in a wall thickness of 25 mm and crafted by masters of the Austrian wood working tradition. Additional reinforcements will eliminate resonance of the housing and the smallest urge to vibrate.

The waves can thus get clear of the solid box even faster. Besides its exceptional impulse characteristics the speaker can also produce sounds in the finest range of shades and detail.

The GRAN VIOLA can be supplied as a speaker for active or passive operation. Subsequent changing of modes through up- or down-grading is not possible.

As an option, the passive GRAN VIOLA can be equipped with the very useful PASSIVE CONTROL feature. It allows adjustments of the medium/low frequencies to the prevailing room acoustics and individual preference of sound.

Function and characteristics

Offering the unusual sensitivity of 98dB/1W, the GRAN VIOLA is not demanding amplifiers of big power. More attention should however be paid to the quality of the signal provided.

The universal (active) GRAN VIOLA can show its full potential when operated together with the external WLM filter module SYSTEM CONTROL. Via this tool the listener can adjust the sound reproduction directly to the prevailing room acoustics and to the individual preference of music, flexibly and comfortably (via the optional remote control).

A description of the GRAN VIOLA's performance seems superfluous the minute you are listening to it. You replay music with bravura and even more emotional commitment, as only the most perfect instruments are able to do.

You hear full midths with fine and distinct contours, a prerequisite for good sound reproduction; complemented by perfectly controlled lows, foundation and base for the dancing silky highs. The entire sound image is homogeneous and coherent. Stage is easily discernable in all 3 dimensions alike - you are getting new insights into the space of the recording and discover new colour shades and passages of until now unheard detail of resolution. New layers of music will emerge, indiscernible so far. And the most amazing of this very emotional sound reproduction: there seems to be ample time to bring out all the new and most minute details of information, in such density to fill large halls. In a given time you are actually hearing more, with added pleasure and growing satisfaction.

You now will be able to enjoy music again even at low volumes, shivers on you back will be a common experience again.

This high class speaker is working effortlessly, with the coolness and steadiness of a dinosaur.
