Danish manufacturer GamuT Audio’s patchy history in the US includes a succession of distributors that failed to establish the brand here. But in 2014 GamuT tapped Michael Vamos to spearhead their own US-based distribution company, which is now energetically promoting the company’s products. That change coincided with my auditioning, at the 2014 Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, of GamuT’s two-and-a-half-way RS5 tower loudspeaker ($31,900/pair). I was sufficiently impressed that I asked to review it—but then, at the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show, I experienced the RS7. This was the GamuT speaker I wanted to spend some time with, and at the end of March, GamuT’s R&D manager, Benno Meldgaard, joined Michael Vamos in setting up a pair of RS7s in my listening room.
The Revised Superior 7
Costing $39,900/pair, the RS7 is basically the same as the RS5, but with a second woofer mounted above the tweeter on the sloped-back baffle, to complete a full three-way design standing just over 4′ tall. The midrange driver is mounted several inches below the tweeter, with the first woofer below that. The woofers are loaded with two slightly flared, metal-lined ports, 2″ in diameter, halfway up the narrow rear panel.

My first encounter with a top-model Gamut two-way stand-mounted speaker, the L3, was at a friend’s house about eight years ago. It performed well in my friend’s system and also in my own system, as my friend was kind enough to let me borrow the pair for a few days. The current RS3i’s predecessor, the S3, sounded gorgeous when I heard it at the Gamut headquarters in Årre, Denmark, in 2012. However, the new RS3i is a complete redesign of the S3. Only the general cabinet shape and size are similar to the S3.
Gamut’s Benno Meldgaard has taken over the design work—both for speakers and electronics—from Lars Gollar. I admire and respect Gollar’s contributions to Gamut over the years, but I will say that whatever Meldgaard is now doing to take those designs further is well worth a fresh listen. If the demos of the RS3i, RS5, and RS7 at the 2015 Rocky Mountain Audio Fest are indicative of Gamut’s new efforts, I am impressed. After living with the RS3i for several months now, I am doubly impressed.
Munich 2018, or “What the hell was that?!” Fair warning: This is not going to be a standard show report, whatever that is. There are plenty of audio scribes, showgoers, bloggers, and videographers running around high-end audio shows these days. There are tons of articles, postings, discussions, YouTube videos, bloggo-blather, and camera dumps going on, … Continue reading
