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.

Question for people. If we buy the speakers for 19,000 dollars, do we atleast get that shirt Mr Gilmore is wearing? Comeon guys that is the sexiest looking shirt I'v ever seen.
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

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
