This Gibbon 3XL is the smallest model in the range and the only standmount.
Due to a long-term accumulation of numerous display stands, we elected instead to use our regular reference 600-millimetre Kudos S100s, with Blu-Tac coupling between speakers and stands. It should be pointed out that this is unquestionably one of the most beautifully finished and presented speakers we have ever seen.
A quite deliciously figured, high-gloss polished real-wood veneer forms the wrap, with nicely rounded edges front and back. The inset front and back panels are both finished in high-gloss black, and an optional mini-grille is held in place by hidden magnets. The whole thing feels extremely solid, possibly helped by the fact that the carcass is made from bamboo ply.
The two drivers are nicely rebated and held by shiny screws. The main driver here has a cast frame and a 100-millimetre doped paper cone. The tweeter is apparently the same as that used in the top-of-the-line Silverback model and has a 19-millimetre dome diaphragm.
45Hz-40kHz
90dB/W/M
8 ohms
15.25”H x 7.3125”W x 10.875"D
