Gershman Acoustics’ 30th Anniversary Black Swan Speakers will see their official launch at CAF 2024.
Thanks to the company’s Separate Sub Alignment System, the Anniversary Black Swans dig down to 18Hz and reach up to 24kHz. Full range and then some. That System physically isolates the sub from the midrange and tweeter by placing it in its own own enclosure to avoid bad vibrations.
The 30th Anniversary Black Swan Speakers come in at $95,000/pair and will be playing in the Madison Room at CAF 2024.
Here’s the announcement and room details from Gershman:

The Black Swan’s, further enhances sound quality by minimizing internal resonance.
