Jacques Riendeau of Oracle Audio I was running out of time. The show was closing soon and I hadn't heard either of Gershman Acoustics's two new offerings at the show. Well, one new, the other new-ish. The new-ish one was the company's Grand Avant Garde 30th Anniversary Edition model. This wasn't a Special Edition with a limited run but a tweaked version of the popular Grand Avant Garde, a speaker I always liked for its rich, full-bodied sound. It replaced the original, and it offers bass extension specified to go 2dB lower.
