Based on technology first developed for the state-of-the-art models AvantGarde and GAP-828 and the Black Swan, the X cube is made of two parts which are design to be time aligned and integrate perfectly. One houses the high and mid frequencies, and the other the low frequencies. The X Cube uses very high quality 1-inch dome tweeter and a 6-inch midrange with a first-order crossover. What makes the X Cube unique is the meticulous attention to cabinet design and construction. The side panels follow the Gershman philosophy of avoiding parallel surfaces. A passive subwoofer unit is designed to integrate perfectly with the top and mid frequency unit. The Sub part of the speaker has a 10" fibreglass woofer and a triangular port developed by Gershman to help eliminate standing waves extends the low frequency response of the system to 20Hz, offering life-like reproduction from the lowest organ pedal note to a dinosaur's footfall.

Unlike most subwoofers, the X Cube sub was designed to perform extremely well for music reproduction. Due to the precise time alignment achieved when mated with the top end monitor, low-level ambient cues integrate perfectly with primary sound staging to endow both instruments and dinosaurs with palpable solidity, combined with the spectacular reproduction and extension of the high frequency (designed to be detailed but not bright) and a very rich smooth life like midrange resulting in a performance that is so realistic and breathtaking that can only be achieved by real life performance.

Priced in the same affordable range as rest of the Gershman's line ($USD/C$ 5000- 7500 depending on the finish). Available in: Rich Red Mahogany finish, Black Oak, beautiful Lacquer and others.

" ... I considered the entire midrange area, from about 160Hz all the way to 5kHz, to be among the most pleasant sounding I have heard -- effortless, sweet, resolute and utterly musical. Male and female vocals inhabit this region and the X2/simaudio combination rendered these flawlessly. ..."

" ... Most impressive however, was the bass. It now reached into the pedal-note regions, sounding warm enough to render melodious upper harmonics above the bass fundamentals and adequately resolute to about 28Hz. ... "
