Gershman Acoustics Avant Garde RX20
Price: $995
Location: Baltimore, Maryland
This is a pair of great sounding high-end speakers from the early 2000s, originally selling for between $4400 and $5200. Bass goes LOW and is tight and fast, with good grunt. Highs and mids are just right to my ears. Very fun and musical and seem to play well with all types of music.
I’ve paired these with everything from a Dynaco ST70 to vintage McIntosh to 180-watt monoblocks, with good results.
These speakers are working fine, but they aren’t perfect cosmetically. I’d rate them a 6.5 out of 10. The black lacquer has some scratches and scuffs and it looks like some of the glue that held the felt woofer surrounds dripped and etched the finish on one. Still, the grills are in excellent shape and the speakers present very well from the front.
Recent past sales of these have ranged from $1400 to $3000 (see attached screen grab from hifishark.com), so I think my asking price is quite fair.
Comes with grills, spikes, and jumpers.
The speakers are VERY heavy and solid, so I can’t ship. Meet up near Baltimore. Cash only, please.
