Avantone is proud to bring Gauss back to the world with the Gauss 7 reference monitor. Decades after the disappearance of the Gauss Speaker Company, the line has returned with a proper (low-end) bang. Gauss 7 mixes the old-school snap of vintage near-field monitors with the bandwidth and frequency response of new-school monitors. Its GAU-AMT tweeter provides ultra-smooth response with an impressive stereo-field, making hours of listening time feel like only minutes. The folded AMT driver can only be described as transparent and accurate, with detailed transients. The Gauss 7 system delivers a super-wide “sweet spot”, precise imaging and an impressive, natural and accurate mid-range response. Gauss 7 also features simple yet very powerful acoustic-tuning controls. Paired with the vertical dispersion of the GAU-AMT, these monitors elicit a clean acoustic response in any room environment.
