Gilmore Audio planars revealed

Rhyno , if you have some insider info on the actual costs associated with the Gilmore as well as the Wilson wp7 that you would like to share with us , I am sure everyone would be interested. I would love to see the reaction by David Wilson and Mark Gilmore to your keen assessment of their speakers worth. My comment on low margins was not specific to the Gilmore itself but rather to the economy and business in general in the past couple of years. Health costs , the stock market ect have caused a strain on most every form of commerce in America if not the world . Apologies for not communicating that more effectively and being more " real " for you.

Guys,

I am gonna say straight that I am VERY ill.
I got back from CES last night, and I may be rambling a bit.

I hung around the Gilmore rooms a lot. Right off the bat, I would say they had the room with the Model 3 speakers with the M-1 amps sounding best. ESPECIALLY when they raised the Model 3 speakers up 1'. To listen to those speakers properly, you have to be at a lower listening position than the stock chairs that came with the room, OR rasier the speakers up a bit (which they did on Sunday).

The speakers in the Model 2 room sounded good, but not as good as the model 3 room (see above). I have some theories why they did not sound quite as good (mainly room interactions, and a bit of placement). However, when Abraham came and played his basses... OMG!!! The trip was worth that 10 minute mini concert. I have NEVER heard bass amplified and played back that well. And I was off axis listening. The man is a God among basists, and I was blown away. When he flipped to his 5 string bass (I think it had 5 strings), all I can tell you is that even off axis, I'd SWEAR that the sound of his bass seemingly sounded UNAMPLIFIED and coming directly from his bass.

You gotta listen to these speakers on axis to really hear what they can do.

No other speaker at CES or The Show even began to exite me as much as these Gilmore speakers.

Well must go see a doctor... am very ill.

Hope you feel better, Keith. When you get your Gilmores, can I come down for a listen? --Dan

Well, folks I am back... (after a four day hospital stay).

All I can say is that I went to the best hospital in the region... And if this was the best in the area, I REALLY feel sorry for folks who have the misfortune of going to the other hospitals.

I wish I could say I were better, but the condition I was diagnosed with is a life long sort of thing...

As sick as I was in Vegas at CES, I still had quite a good time.

Sorry to hear this, Keith.
