minn_male42 Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Just found this speaker doing some surfing. It is a pro speaker with pretty awesome specs configured just like an RF-7 with 15" woofers. http://gemsound.com/products_speakers-pro_gsp30.html You can get them online for $299 each. Take five of these puppies and you could have a high volume, high sensitivity, and possibly high quality surround horn system for about $1500 with each speaker having a 20 - 20k frequency response! (and yes I realize that they did not publish a +/- db figure on the frequency response curve) Anyone heard these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicholtl Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 The red-and-black speaker color scheme reminds me of Cerwin Vega! speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prodj101 Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Gem Sound makes terrible stuff. I've heard of their mixers having the common problem of crossfaders catching on fire while in use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylanl Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 My buddy is a DJ and has these speakers. I just helped him his fix the vibration inside. Very poor construction. We had to re-glue and screw everything back together. After 2 times using them this happened. When we had it open ( WOW ) was is cheaply made. I did not want to tell him. He asked me what I thought so I said the truth "for audio they are good". I asked this question a while back comparing (pro audio to hi end home audio) the response was that the pro is made for slammin and not good for true listening. When you just look at the Pro audio from a price prospective they look great. I think in the end you will be disappointed in the sound.

minn_male42 Posted January 3, 2005 Author Share Posted January 3, 2005 just for the record - i am not in the market to replace my KLF-30's.... just wanted to know if anyone had heard these... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio Flynn Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 DJ stuff is industrial and more times than not; not very musical. Good for drunk people at weddings. Hopefully this is not too cynical. I do like stage monitor speakers in the old days (70s) Electro Voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Dylanl Calling a $299 system with two 15" drivers, etc., professional is a bigggg stretch. Real professional gear can sound very good in a musical setting, and is built better than that. Russ, What will surely kick is the JBL version of this, the SRX725. The h/f horn has a 4 inch driver on it. I am not sure what they list for but I think around $1500 each. They won't be fallin' apart after a couple of uses.

kenratboy Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 If you want to see what REAL pro gear looks like (an example), go here: http://www.jblpro.com/srx700/SRX700_Flash_Presentation/index.html Click the link if you have pop-ups blocked. Just a clue as to what is considered when designing gear for the pro world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylanl Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Marvel, my friend does his little business out of his basement. So in all respects he is not a true professional other than the fact that he gets paid. The reason I posted about these was because he has them and they are not very good all the way around.

Griffinator Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Forget it - I misread the copy... Gem Sound is trash, though, and I can't imagine these things sound like anything but really cheap PA speakers, which, from my own experience, are pretty nasty...

Griffinator Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 In addendum. I used to own a pair of Peavey 112 monitors. They had the big old flared horn in the top - you know what was actually attached to the horn? A 4oz magnet HF driver. You know, the kind you'd find in a small boombox? This is supposed to be some kind of "professional grade" speaker?! After using these things a number of times, the woofer in one of them cracked, and ball game's over...

nuclearay Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Somewhere, there is a guy in a parking lot trying to sell these out of a van because, "like, dude, I ended up with an extra pair." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
