"The L7s look better than anything else I had seen from GamuT. Sure their electronics look fine, are well made and have exemplary performance. On the other hand, the speakers looked like fine furniture and would look right at home in the pages of Architectural Digest. The particular pair I had was beautifully finished in a rosewood veneer and had 11(!) coats of hand polished high-gloss lacquer. They looked too good to touch. I kept one of the wife's “good” towels on hand as I wanted to make sure I didn't get my finger prints on the finish. The speakers measure 50.4” tall X 7.9” wide X 16.9” deep and weigh in at nearly 100 lbs. The speakers are very solid and have smooth, seamless lines. A friend of mine who is very picky about speaker design and manufacturing marveled at the build quality and craftsmanship of the speaker and remarked that he could not tell where one piece of wood ended and another began.
The speaker's excellent build quality extends to their use of drivers as well. The L7s use the very best drivers from Scanspeak. The high frequencies are handled by a 1.5” Ring Radiator tweeter. The midrange is handled by a 7” sliced paper cone driver and the low frequencies are handled by a two more 7” drivers. The crossover is an interlinked multi-order Non-Resonance Linked Impulse (NRLI), designed by GamuT, with an electromagnetic and circuit optimized, electrically separated board layout. The speakers have two sets of gold plated WBT binding posts with 4mm plugs for bi-wiring or bi-amping. The speakers rest on stainless steel spikes that attach to healthy, 1/2” thick stainless steel outriggers that attach to the speakers with 6 screws each. It would be best to find the spot that you want to place the speakers before putting the spikes on.

I have not had a speaker in my house that was as lively, dynamic and detailed as the L7s were. The L7s never sounded hard or under strain nor was there ever any hint of breakup or driver chatter. Of all of the cables I had on hand to evaluate the speakers with, they sounded best with cables from Sunny Cable Technology, Silversmith, and the Dyamic Design THB with their Nebula Series Bass Bi-wire cables driving the woofer. I’m sure a lot of you are asking, “What do you get for your money”, from a speaker like the GamuT L7. To start with, you get a speaker that’s extremely well made and built to last and look beautiful for a very long time. On top of that, you get a level of music reproduction and resolution that you have to hear and experience in your own listening room with your own music.
If you thought you were enjoying your music now, wait until you’re able to step up to a speaker like the GamuT L7, that’s capable of taking your listening experiences to a level or two higher than where you are now. Even if you’re not looking to step up to this level of speaker, the L7s are still definitely worth looking at and listening to. I am giving this speaker my highest recommendation. The GamuT L7 speakers are one of those few components that I will truly miss."

Έχω ακούσει τα μικρότερα, τα L5, και είναι πράγματι καταπληκτικά ηχεία, τόσο απο ποιότητα κατασκευής όσο και απο απόδοση. :cool_4:
