ribbon or electrostatic speakers

VMPS speakers will do what you want with ease. They're hybrids but the ribbons handle 166hz to 10khz. All the slam you could want.

I have heard the Gilmore model 2 and model 3 speakers.

All I can say is that (on axis) they are one of the most AMAZING speakers I have yet heard... PERIOD.

Their bass (even the model 3's) is simply stunning. It is the closest bass I have heard to live bass coming from a speaker. The model 3 is rated at -3db @ 22hz, and I absolutely believe it.

The Gilmore speakers are also easy to drive. I heard them driven by 60wpc OTL tubes. No need for monster amps with this speaker.

Frankly, I have not been this excited over a speaker in a long time.

Email me if you have any questions.

That is great news! How much are they? I have heard complaints about their looks. Of course, that is a personal bias. I bet they are very costly. This is why I treasure the Scintilla. It's cheap. It is a son of a gun to power, but that isn't the problem it was before, now with the advent of capable class D amps. I have one eAR2 doing magic on my Scinnys. By the way, the Scintilla does 20Hz at even db. It's bass planar panel is as fast as the ribbons. FYI there is a ribbon producer Down Under, Graz, who is building his first cost is no object full range ribbon speakers using rare earth magnets. His hybrid, the Perigee, has been well received.

Tok20000, are you also a dealer for these speakers?

No. I am not a dealer for Gilmore.

I am just someone who head the Gilmore speakers over a 7 hour listening session. And I was AMAZED by them.
