This new cost-no-object masterpiece from GamuT, an internationally renowned Danish manufacturer of State-of-the-art audio components, brings delight to announce the launch of their new loudspeaker. If you're already a fan of Gamut's superlative RS Series (and let's face it, if you've heard them, you will be), then you're in for one heck of a treat. The new hot-off-the-press Zodiac is a further development of the pride of the RS Series, the huge RS9.
"The ZODIAC is basically my dream loudspeaker," says Benno Baun Meldgaard, Gamut's Designer, whose passion and skills are such that in Europe he has earned the nickname ‘the best ears in the business'. In fact, if you've ever seen Benno set up and fine-tune a system you'll know why he's also known affectionately as ‘the speaker whisperer'. To watch him ‘dance' a loudspeaker into its absolute optimum placement is something every audiophile should witness at least once in their lifetime. In 2016 Benno's dance card has been reserved for the ZODIAC, into which he has poured all of his expertise built on decades of psychoacoustics research, development and not least enjoying countless classical live concerts – the only true reference.
The Gamut Zodiac: highlights in brief
• A true ‘cost no object' handcrafted loudspeaker.
• Only 12 pairs to be built each year (one per month/sign of the zodiac).
• Extended frequency response of 16Hz to 60kHz.
• Phase-aligned drive units from 400Hz to 12kHz yielding pin-point sound staging with vast 3D imaging and flawless timing.
