Gemme Audio Tanto Owners - User Manual?

I remember wording around placement from the rear wall being important due to the pressure levels emitting from the rear port. (at least 2' in my case). The V2 also had an adjustable port (spacer), which I don't believe is available on the V1. Personally, I found the Tanto needed zero to very little toe in. The sweet spot for that speaker was almost as wide as the whole room I had them placed in. I had mine set up on the long wall of a 13'x18' room and at about a 10' listening distance. It was an amazing little speaker with big sound and thanks in most part to the cabinet design. As you're aware, the driver selection is fairly basic...which I think is awesome as a consumer.

I agree with @yakbob My V2s were about 2 feet from the front wall (to the rear of the speakers) and I also preferred them with NO Toe In. I did not utilize the plugs.

yakbob and david_ten,

Thanks for the comments. It’s funny that you both used very little toe in. Mine are toed in quite a bit! I found it helpful in my situation because I need to place the speakers along the long wall in a room that is somewhat shallow (15'x12.5' minus a lot of bookshelves/furniture), and I want to make the listening spot as wide as possible to accommodate an awkward listening position and potential “guests”. I experimented quite a lot with placement, but you’re inspiring me to explore some more. Unfortunately I have some real issues with a deep and wide bass null - probably due to room acoustics. I’ll be experimenting with some bass traps but I can’t fit that many….

BTW, yakbob, I think you suggested the Tantos in a thread where I was asking for speaker advice so I owe you the credit for turning me on to them!

I owned a pair of the original Tantos.  Don't remember the manual, so as others have said, it likely didn't provide all that much help.  Surprised Robert Gaboury cannot provide a soft copy, that seems strange.

Gemme was a partnership between Robert and Jean Pierre Boudreau.  You may want to take a chance in reaching out to JP, as he's known

trelja, that is a great idea!  I emailed Jean Pierre Boudreau and he got back to me saying he would look for a manual.  I'll report back when I hear from him one way or the other.  Thanks!
