    Cancelled my Magnepan 30.7 order - sad experience - over 1 year wait and promises broken

    There is a much better speaker out there it is the GT Audioworks Reference 3 Planar speakers They have rave reviews. Reichert from stereophile said they can go one on one with any loudspeaker cost no object. They do not have membranes that resonate like the magna Planars, pure copper traces(...

    Microphone Set-up for Audio System Recordings

    Yes I agree but Found that if you use either the flat setting or live instrument settings. If you use the flat setting the only thing that you can do is adjust the sound field all the way up to 135°. You can’t do anything else including increasing the Mic gain. On these types of speakers are...

    Microphone Set-up for Audio System Recordings

    Hi Ron: I I found that using dual mics creates a very unusual soundstage unlike what we hear at the seated listening position. Therefore, the best microphone for the situation that we actually use at sound insight is the Shure MV 88+ microphone. This microphone is a true stereo microphone that...

    State-of-the-Art Digital

    The DACs that have been discussed are basically subject to the type of system they are placed in. Specifically, if your system including your speakers hasa certain frequency response if you measure them - that will dictate the type of dac that may be best suited for your system. I am presently...

    Lampi pacific in the House

    Thanks Al We truly appreciateYou visiting our room and spending time with us. It is a revelation to have had those XS 150 amps but you have to understand that it is going to give the general public and a lot of audiophiles the impression that the speakers Sound this good due to the $65,000 XS...

    Actually I find your responses annoying and your last response down right rude. This is a free country I don’t think your name is Kim Jong Un. Enjoy your overpriced speakers.

    Thanks for your reply gwalt - but you indicated you based your decision on looking at the speakers and not hearing them. We have other configurations that although maybe 4 in total are far less imposing. The planar panels are only 19 in. Wide the servo subs only 15 inches wide - not that much...

    It is to bad gwalt did not have the opportunity to audition the GT Audioworks System at almost 75% less than the Botticelli’s. We have had customers come to audition them and ultimately purchase them from all over the US and overseas. See below Facebook link where some of our customers systems...

    In response to User 211 post - All I have to say is that you have not heard our speakers and are making judgements on bass Integration between the planar panels and the open baffle servo subs without any understanding of the technology that Greg Takesh has put into the speakers for the...

    This is a specially designed system that that will make you truly believe it is real as in a concert. I have personally heard a set of True Sound Works Apogee Duetta Signatures with 700 watt Amps and they will not produce the dynamics of the GT System. The computer used to individually control...

    If you are planning on buying a 4 piece System like the Alsyvox then at least keep an open mind rather ear and audition the 4 piece GT Audioworks System.

    You completely overlooked the fact that the THX standard is 80 Hz the speakers are crossed over at 60 Hz so therefore everything you said does not make any sense because your ear is not as sensitive to low frequency signals that are below 80 Hz. They are less directional. You have not heard the...

    My apologies I thought you were another dealer. It really does not matter whether you know what particular woofer driver we use or what particular servo plate amplifier We are using they are tweaked for our system and built into a custom design cabinet to integrate and work seamlessly with the...

    First off physics aside two, three, four or 6-12 inch servo subwoofers will output a great deal more-bass energy in terms of SPL’s then any planar magnetic speaker by itself. I have witnessed this for myself as I have been a former wisdom, Martin Logan, Genesis and BG Radia dealer. You are...

    It is the laws of physics-bass cannot be produced by a planar magnetic speaker the way an open open baffle servo woofer Like ours will. You do not know the type of technology that we are using nor the type of woofers we are using to produce this extraordinary bass. Again the laws of physics...

    Thanks for your question it is a speaker that is designed to be at the height it is built out for the frequency response we are trying to achieve. GT audio works will not compromise the sound of the speaker to produce a smaller model. The panels weigh about 135 pounds apiece. We are a pass labs...

    Well first let me begin by addressing the fact that Peter Breuninger of AVshow rooms Has posted on Facebook and told numerous people that the GT audio works loudspeaker system including the servo subs are IRS V killers. If you pay close attention and watch towards the end of the video as I was...
