Designed and voiced to integrate perfectly with the STRAUSS or MAHLER in reference-quality home theater systems, ORATORIO delivers a new level of center-channel speaker performance. Unlike typical center speakers, ORATORIO is capable of astonishing dynamic range and extended low frequency response easily providing the most lifelike film sound dialog reproduction you’ve ever heard.

ORATORIO employs advanced speaker drivers and crossover technology in a most unique way. The 1” silk-dome tweeter incorporates a multiple Neodymium magnet assembly with an integral decoupling mounting block to reduce any extraneous resonance. Housed in a small block that is positioned directly above the midrange, exceptional dispersion characteristics, open and effortless high frequency response is assured. The unique air-dried, carbon fiber filled 7” midrange drive unit reproduces, with aplomb, the entire vocal range with great scale and clarity. Dual 9” woofers provide extraordinary deep bass response with outstanding dynamics and authority.

Crossover component parts are among the highest quality available today, ensuring a highly detailed presentation of the center image with clarity and stability. System sensitivity is an extraordinary 91dB allowing exceptionally performance even with amplifiers of lower power output. In fact, ORATORIO’S recommended amplifier input power range is a versatile 50-300 watts, making it compatible in both elaborate and modest home theater systems in medium to large sized rooms

ORATORIO continues in the Vienna Acoustic tradition of fine cabinetry by blending of only the finest raw materials and hand-selected wood veneers. Its radical shape proves the form does indeed follow function. The rake-angle of the enclosures wood panels is purposeful in its attention to detail regarding the proper time-alignment of all drivers, resonance control and the unimpeded path of the propagated sound wave. Properly finishing this striking enclosure was only possible using Vienna Acoustics' proprietary veneer wrapping techniques and highly specialized, customized tools and machinery. The result is a true furniture-grade loudspeaker you'll not want to hide away. Two finishes are available; a high-gloss black lacquer is standard, or a highly grained and hand-selected Santos Palisander rosewood available at a slight additional cost.
