I am looking at the GX100 and would appreciate your thoughts. The piano ebony finish does appeal to me though I haven't got a clue what the speakers sound like. Before I make an attempt to listen to them, I would like to have some thoughts from those who have had first-hand experience with these speakers.
The speakers will be used in a Home Theater setup but will be occasionally hooked up to the main hifi system built around some Naim amps. Hence, the GX100 is expected to perform reasonably well in 2-channel.
I do know speaker selection is a very personal thing. I want something that is an all rounder, not too warm and smooth sounding like the Spendors or Harbeths or too harsh and bright like the Thiels. The speaker must be able to play rock music and convey pace and timing with precision ie. not sounding slow or lethargic.
How do the GX100s compare with the Proac Response D1 or Dynaudio Focus/Contour S1.4 series of bookshelves? Does the GX100 sound more like the Dynaudio monitors(fuller, punchier) or the Proacs(leaner and perhaps more detail and better imaging qualities)? Does the GX100 sound significantly brighter than the Spendors/Harbeths and have better high frequency extension? I suppose the GX100 is a fast and agile speaker?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
