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.

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.

I hope you at least feel somewhat better Keith (and that you can find a facility for any continuing treatment that suits you better too). Best wishes fighting your illness.
The planar woofers in theses speakers look very similar to the Dynavox SW-1220FL. Go to http://www.dynavox.com/, Products Speakers, 12". They, along with the WP-1220, are the closest I've seen to the original Carver Amazing woofers as far as specs go. Has anybody tried these drivers in their Amazings?
