We often do not realize the full possible appreciation of music because of speaker limitations. Many designs are best suited to a particular type of music reproduction, whether it be the subtleties of the classics or the in-your-face-power of heavy metal. To bridge the gap in musical performance and appreciation, the aptly named GAP 828 is designed to suit all needs and bring you the world of music in a three-dimensional sound stage. Its exotic shape is no accident. Based on the strongest architectural form known to man, the GAP 828's pyramidal enclosure is built to exacting standards, eliminating any unwanted vibrations and virtually all sonic refractions. The woofer is enclosed in a specially designed, double-walled chamber. The outer wall is made of one-inch thick, high density fiber board over a 3/4 inch inner wall. Bonded together with acoustically inert glue, the bass chamber does not telegraph vibrations into the upper structure. From the height of the enclosure to the angle and location of the drivers, the 828 allows sound wave motions to progress faithfully to the signal in its most natural and pure form. The ultimate benefit of this unique, time-aligned design is holographic imaging and minimized room interaction.

Components are selected with the utmost care. A ten-inch fiberglass woofer is married to a regulation line developed by Eli Gershman to provide bass which is deep, tight and well-defined. For exceptional midrange and high frequency dynamics and neutrality, the GAP 828 incorporates a 5.25 inch carbon fiber cone midrange and a silk dome tweeter. Black or Burgundy lacquer. Custom lacquers optional.

· " ... a hedonistic fruit bomb ... when applied to sound reproduction I would translate that as big, lush, powerful and almost sinfully rich. The 'almost' in that sentence is an important qualifier, because while the Gap is one of the smoothest, most voluptuous and least fatiguing audio components I've heard, it isn't so rich as to obscure details or to stamp all recordings with the same signature sound. No, the Gap will show you plenty of a recording's inner detail and character ... "
