Thank you for purchasing the Apart VINCI 7, our 20th Anniversary
Limited Edition loudspeaker.
This story began 20 years ago. The result is here now. VINCI 7
sets new standards in affordable reference bookshelf speakers. By
keeping the design as simple as possible, we managed to create a
true high end speaker with the highest value for money. Of course,
this is a typical feature for all products of the Apart brand. Compact,
audiophile, neutral but captivating… Each component was carefully
ear-chosen and tested. The result is an ultra linear performer,
with great dynamics and stable stereo imaging. With the optional
speaker stand, the speakers are positioned at ideal listening height.
When properly installed, these speakers will provide you with many
years of listening pleasure. Just sit back, relax and enjoy.

Note: when using the bi-amping method, you need 2 preferably
identical amplifiers per speaker. Each amplifier delivers full range
audio signals at the same volume level. No need to mention: always
use good quality speaker cable. The speaker terminals accept cables
up to 6 mm² and 4 mm banana connectors.
Ideally, you should position the speakers on ear level.
In order to achieve this we suggest our VINCI7ST. A speaker stand
that has been designed especially for the VINCI 7 loudspeaker and
which fits the VINCI 7’s design concept perfectly. Ask your local
dealer for more information.
