This week, I’ll talk about Gershman Acoustics, of Thornhill, Ontario, Canada. Though a smaller speaker manufacturer by comparison to most others I have covered, this is a company that clearly deserves your attention. Filling the Cascade 1 room on the second floor of the Doubletree by Hilton during the second Pacific Audiofest, today I spotlight their slight, yet floor-standing, 30th Anniversary edition Grand Avant Garde loudspeakers, at $18,000 a pair.
