The GX speaker range is a beautifully conceived congress of materials, technology, design innovation and performance, which expresses the spirit of our acclaimed Platinum speakers at an even more accessible price. By utilising the most precise CAD tools available, and many, many hours of listening, we’ve applied our Platinum driver, crossover and cabinet technologies to a range of entirely new speaker designs, more reminiscent of Platinum than the GS speakers they replace.
Beneath the mirror-like lustre of black or white piano lacquer, Bubinga, Walnut and Natural Oak real wood veneers, are eleven layers of lacquer, built-up individually to achieve the luxurious depth of finish. Once assembled the real-wood cabinets are hand veneered to ensure absolute precision in the joinery and in the grain matching between each pair. To accentuate the clean GX styling all seven models feature the latest 'floating' magnetic grilles. The critical GX driver elements are based on the ground-breaking Platinum designs. The fabulously efficient wideband GX ribbon tweeter reproduces the authentic tonal character of frequencies beyond 60kHz, as well as the inherent nature of the mid-band vocal region to which the ear is most sensitively tuned. In order to integrate mid and bass frequencies with the ribbon, we turned to critical computer-driven FEA tools to optimise the behaviour of the GX bass and mid-driver motors and diaphragms, selecting large voice-coils, powerful magnet structures and rigid, vented die-cast driver chassis to power ribbed RST® (Rigid Surface Technology) C-CAM cones. The drivers are mounted on a single tensioned through-bolt secured to the back of the cabinet. The bolt not only acts as a rigid cabinet brace to reduce box colouration, it removes the need for conventional driver fixing as well, effectively decoupling the driver and front baffle to eliminate another source of unwanted resonance.
By selecting from seven lustrous GX models you'll have the opportunity to experience the wonder of pristine, wideband sound, tailored perfectly to your room. In matching systems for music and home theatre, GX gives you the look, the quality and the performance of a timeless reference design.
