Το possitive-feedback.com φιλοξενεί review των ηχείων L5 της GamuT.
Στα συγκεκριμένα ηχεία είχε αναφερθεί με κολακευτικά σχόλια, αν θυμάστε, και ο Νίκος (or King Arvanitakis) σε αυτό το thread.
Θα τα ακούσω κι εγώ - αυτή τη βδομάδα κατά πάσα πιθανότητα - αλλά με μία πρώτη οπτική επαφή που είχα με τα συγκεκριμένα ηχεία μπορώ να πω ότι η ποιότητα κατασκευής είναι απλά κορυφαία. Πραγματικά οι φωτογραφίες το αδικούν.
Ο Larry Cox που τα δοκίμασε για λογαριασμό του Positive-Feedback.com τα...αγόρασε, άρα μάλλον του άρεσαν! :respect:
"To begin at the beginning, the GamuT L5 speakers are in the middle of GamuT's top end line. They are not inexpensive, retailing for $11,000 but taking a little sting out of the price tag, is the fact that they are quite beautiful. That is, they are easily the nicest piece of furniture in our house, and they are the nicest looking speaker I have seen …and I have seen a lot. Even so, I am not a fan of bird's eye maple - its sometimes light-dark contrast can be visually disturbing. GamuT, however, has found beautiful batches of bird's eye maple that are a warm brown and yellow forming a seductive mix of colors under eleven, count ‘em, eleven layers of hand applied lacquer.

I had the L5 speakers for over fifteen months before I finally committed to finishing this review. Over the course of that year I matched the L5s with a lot of different types and quality of components. The L5s readily reflected the system changes from tubed amplification (E.A.R. 509 Mk II monoblocks) to solid state (GamuT D-200, Bel Canto M100s, Nuforce 9.02 and B&K ST140s), from digital (E.A.R. Acute, CEC TL51XR, PS Audio Digital Link III DAC, Stello DA/100 DAC, CEC 3300R and Sony NS70 DVD player) to analog (Koetsu Rosewood, Ortofon Jubilee, Rondo Bronze and Rohman) and expensive speaker cables (Ensemble Megaflux $1600 for 3 meters) to cheap speaker cables (Ixos braided ~ $30 for 3 meters). The L5s let each and every change shine through, whether such shining was desired or not. Also, for what it's worth, all of these products were in my system for at least a month (excepting the E.A.R. Acute and GamuT D200 amplifier), so only my comments are in passing - I had lots of experience with all of the different components in my system.

The GamuT L5s strike me as a lover's musical tool. It is for someone who loves music, good food, well-made clothing, and the like. People who appreciate things done well, things that are beautiful to look at, and equipment that does what you hope it will. If you are that sort of "lover", you'll like and maybe love the L5s. They're a sight to behold; they're warm like live music is, with a relaxed presentation that doesn't lose detail to sound nice. And finally, they simply conjure up an experience of luxury and luxuriating in music. Highly recommended. Oh, did I mention, I bought them!"
