Gershman Acoustics 30th Anniversary Loudspeaker Celebration
Florida is the place to celebrate Gershman's thrilling 30th anniversary!
Florida International Audio Expo 2024 Show Report By Steven R. Rochlin

  The multi-award-earning Canadian company Gershman Acoustics favorably distinguished the Florida International Audio Expo 2024 with their new 30th Anniversary Black Swan floorstanding loudspeaker ($90,000). As their top-line reference loudspeaker, you know there's very special technology and advanced engineering within this new design.

This wonderful work of audio art is the company's no-holds-barred loudspeaker design and has a very wide frequency response from a room shaking 18 Hz to a smooth 24 kHz. Sensitivity is 88dB/W/m, with driver compliment being a powerful 12" woofer, marvelous 5.25" midrange, and delightful 1" dome tweeter. Dimensions are 54" x 16 x 18 (HxWxD), and be sure to bring a friend during setup as each side weights a substantial 174 lbs.

Joining the party are the Convergent Audio Technology C.A.T. monoblocks ($70,000 per pair), C.A.T. preamplifier ($100,000), plus Wolf Audio music streamer and Aavik Hi-Res Audio DAC. System wiring was provided by Cardas Audio. The C.A.T amplifier uses a high current KT120 or 6550/KT88 tube. C.A.T.'s SL1 stereo preamplifier includes an MC/MM phono stage, and standard unbalanced RCA inputs, and weighs 80 lbs.

Heather and I both agree this system was one of the best during the Florida International Audio Expo 2024 show. Super-fast transients, very wide frequency range (Note: Heather loves her driving deep bass, whereas I'm more a midrange and silky smooth highs kinda guy). The soundscape was wide and very deep too. What can I say, we came, we heard, and we left extremely impressed. Wish more music lovers all around the world heard what we did, as there'd be more music, more love, and far less....

Make music, not....
