Gershman Acoustics X-2 review
The X-2 is Gershman Acoustics’ most affordable loudspeaker but based
on technology first developed for the state-of-the-art models AvantGarde
and GAP-828. The X-2 uses a 1-inch dome tweeter and custom-made 6-inch
woofer with a first-order crossover. What makes the X-2 unique among mini
monitors is the meticulous attention to cabinet design and construction.
The side panels follow the Gershman philosophy of avoiding parallel
surfaces. Furthermore, each wall consists of two 1/2" thick MDF panels
that are bonded together using a unique middle layer to further increase
cabinet rigidity.
The X-2 is finished in real wood veneer and espouses the level of quality
that Gershman Acoustics is famous for. The design of the X-2 is as
exceptional as its appearance and will appeal to the discriminating
audiophile searching for top performance at an affordable price.
The sound of the X-1 is rich, three-dimensional and offers excellent bass
weight and definition. For true full-range performance, the SW-1 is the
perfectly matched subwoofer stand while a pair of X-2s also makes ideal
rear channels. Red Mahogany and Black Ash finishes are available.
