Anyone in Vegas listen to the Gilmore speakers???

Yes. I heard them Thursday in one of the (at least three) rooms they were playing. I wasn't impressed (playing at very low volumes with some light jazz).
Saw them today in another room (both rooms at the St. Tropez). Totally different story!
The were playing at decent volume with some solid music.
These are GREAT speakers!
The mind blowing part of this was the premiere session bass player Abraham Laboriel who hooked up and started jamming right through the Gilmores!
I've played bass through a dual 15 inch cabinet and have blown driver cones with excessive transients.
Mr. Laboriel was slapping away at his five string Yamaha (think Paul Simon's "Graceland" style playing) with no ill effects.
The (big) Gilmores need lots of space from the listener (about 15 feet) for driver blend. Give them the room and they sound wonderful! Smaller models might not need as much room.
They were driven by Atma-sphere monos.

I thought the Gilmores construction was first rate.
It would be hard to flub a design this simple.
I did think the black metal frame holding the ribbon could have been gold/chrome plated, however.

The sound of the big panels was noticably disjoined if sitting too close but merged nicely at distance.

And are you saying a manufacturer shouldn't be enthusiastic about their product at a trade show?

Come back to 'Vegas. It's sunny and 65 degrees today.

I respectfully disagree...

If your referring to me as a "PR meister" and not someone sharing their "honest opinion" then do what the sandwich says.

I count myself in the "audiophile camp", not being a friend of Mr. Gilmore or someone financially dependent on his success.
I think these speakers are more than "O. K." but do agree that these, and most hi-end products, are grossly overpriced.
I laugh when I see Wilson and Alon speakers costing as much as a Ferrari.
Ten years ago or so $8000 was really pushing the cost ceiling. Today, this is considered mid-range.
I'd like to see a manufacturer try to justify the prices they charge with a cost analysis.
The mind-set today is: "Why do something if it doesn't put a Porche in the garage of my house on the hill?".
Give us poor music lovers a break!
