GAMUT The Superior RS7

Tempus (Oskar Rózsa and Adriana Kučerová, Under My Spell) is through the GamuTs like fresh walk in moss-covered countryside after the rain, where you steps are springy and soft and the air clear and crisp. The music through the RS7 also has a ‘springy’ quality but at the same time it provides a nano-view into microcosmos – as if the speakers were an extremely sensitive laboratory device that is carefully settled on an anti-vibrational platform. The technical team of Hitachi spent one year assembling such a device at the University of Victoria. The ultra-high resolution 7-tonne Scanning Transmission Electron Holography Microscope (STEHM) is the most powerful optical device in the world – it can see particles of 35 picometres (one picometre is a trillionth of a metre). I do not know what it is like to look through the STEM but I believe that The Superior RS7 are its equivalent in the high end world.

I have already heard better lows from other speakers than the RS7 yet I had to rejoice upon the colour and resolution of the the GamuT’s bass. The bottom octaves of the RS7 exhibited comfort and pleasure and they did not project the sound forward – as if its introspective quality was more inviting rather than just projecting. Actually the absolutely relaxed presentation of The Superior RS7 was like a kind of audio-morphine – instead of auditioning chore I found myself deeply enthralled inside the music. No way that I could hit STOP button on the CD player. Then there is one more magic – the RS7’s are as much relaxed speakers as they are analytical. And when I say analytical I mean microscopically.
