The X-2 is Gershman Acoustics' most affordable loudspeaker but based on technology first developed for the state-of-the-art models AvantGarde and GAP-828. The X-2 uses a 1-inch dome tweeter and custom-made 6-inch woofer with a first-order crossover. What makes the X-2 unique among mini monitors is the meticulous attention to cabinet design and construction. The side panels follow the Gershman philosophy of avoiding parallel surfaces. Furthermore, each wall consists of two 1/2" thick MDF panels that are bonded together using a unique middle layer to further increase cabinet rigidity.
The X-2 is finished in real wood veneer and espouses the level of quality that Gershman Acoustics is famous for. The design of the X-2 is as exceptional as its appearance and will appeal to the discriminating audiophile searching for top performance at an affordable price.
The sound of the X-1 is rich, three-dimensional and offers excellent bass weight and definition. For true full-range performance, the SW-1 is the perfectly matched subwoofer stand while a pair of X-2s also makes ideal rear channels. Red Mahogany and Black Ash finishes are available.

· " ... The two-way bookshelf loudspeaker can be one of the finest values in high-end audio. For a couple hundred bucks all the way up to many thousands of dollars, outstanding sound can come from these relatively unassuming boxes ... "
