Gilmore Audio planars revealed

The Gilmore Audio speaker have finally been photographed for the world to see: Gilmore Audio

Disclaimer - I'm a dealer for the Gilmores, though at this point I'm still awaiting my first pair, as they haven't begun shipping yet.

The Gilmores push the edge of the envelope for planar technology in several areas. Innovations include an extremely thin (3 mil) Kapton diaphragm; bass extension to below 20 Hz; easy 8-ohm load combined with 92 dB efficiency (you can drive 'em with Atma-Sphere M-60's!); and maximum output level in the mid to upper 120's.

Designer Mark Gilmore is the webmaster of the Atma-Sphere Owner's Group website, as well as of the Sound Lab Owner's Group site. He's been around for a while, but this is his first commercial loudspeaker design (to the best of my knowledge).

I haven't heard 'em yet so can't comment on the sound (I know, that's all that really matters after all). I'm expecting a pair before the end of the year, and will post comments then.

Not having seen this thread prior to today, i just wanted to drop back in and comment that these are like "baby" versions of what i'm running in my main system. For sake of clarity, i'm running a line array of E-stat tweeters, large E-stat mid-panels and multiple dipolar push-pull woofers. The push-pull design was chosen to increase speed and lower distortion of the dynamic drivers while the dipolar pattern mimics the radiation pattern of the mids and tweeters. All of this is actively crossed and driven by 6 mono-blocks to the tune of 2400+ wpc. Toodles.... Sean

Sean, expand more on this. Is this your own speaker design??

Any real life auditions of the Gilmore speakers?

Unfortunately, I think that the slutty girls in trashy ads with overblown hype, and kitchen corian are going to collectively kill this endeavor.

The sad thing is that slutty girl is not even Hot for a so called "model". She's actually kind of ugly

RWD: Yes, it is. Contact me via email if you would like to discuss this or anything else further. In case you didn't know it, I am out of here but i still drop by once in a while. I am basically posting on AA and sometimes AudioCircle.

If you or anyone else are interested in my lastest "fiascos", you can check out this thread about loudspeaker design along with a few other threads that i have contributed to on AA. This one has responses from Bobby Palkovic of "Merlin" speaker fame and Dan Wiggins of Adire Audio ( Shiva and Tempest subs ). Sean

PS... If anyone thinks that buying a product like that will get you girls like that, think again. The only way that it "might" get you girls is that they might assume that you have money since you probably had to pay quite a bit for something like that.
