Gershman Acoustics Symphoria — Where Music Becomes Emotion
Some loudspeakers impress you with a spectacular first minute. The truly special ones keep you listening long after you planned to stop. Handcrafted in Canada, the Gershman Acoustics Symphoria is built for that deeper connection: the weight of a piano, the texture of a voice, the scale of an orchestra, and the sense that musicians belong together in a real acoustic space.
Positioned between the Grand Avant Garde and Black Swan in the Gershman family, Symphoria brings some of the company's most ambitious engineering into a striking, beautifully finished, three-way sealed loudspeaker. The $70,000 price is for a stereo pair.
Two 8-Inch Woofers. Two Dedicated Bass Traps.
Each custom-designed 8-inch woofer works with its own Back-Wave Control Technology (BCT) chamber. By managing energy behind the driver rather than allowing it to reflect back through the cone, Gershman aims for bass that is extended, articulate, and exceptionally well controlled. This is low-frequency authority designed to serve the music, not overwhelm it.
Separate Sub Alignment System (SSAS)
The tweeter and midrange live in their own distinctive module, mechanically separated from the bass enclosure using IsoAcoustics isolation devices. This reduces the transfer of cabinet vibrations to the drivers responsible for voices, instruments, and spatial detail. The module's setup also allows careful alignment in the listening room.
Materials with an Acoustic Purpose
High-density fiberboard cabinets incorporate aluminum structural inserts to help disperse resonant energy. A custom 6-inch midrange and 1-inch dome tweeter work with the dual woofers in a first-order crossover architecture. The result is an ambitious attempt to balance tonal substance, imaging precision, and musical coherence.
