Each Posh uses a 1" Morel dome tweeter, a 5" Accuton ceramic midrange, and two 8" aluminum-alloy double-magnet woofers designed by Eli Gershman. The company says that these woofers are able to “produce tight and clean bass response down to 19Hz.” Crossovers use top-of-the-line Mundorf MCapR Supreme Classic silver-gold capacitors and MResist Supreme resistors for what the company says are those components’ “natural and acoustically neutral” characteristics. Furutech internal and exterior wiring and gold-plated Mundorf binding posts are also used. The Posh's cabinets are finished in high-gloss lacquer
and are available in any color the customer chooses. |
ershman Acoustics' new Posh
($129,000/pair) is vaguely similar to the company's previous flagship speaker, the Black
Swan, which debuted in 2006. Like the Black Swan, the Posh is a modular design. It has one
double-woofer enclosure resting on custom-made footers and a tweeter/midrange enclosure
suspended above it by an A-frame-shaped steel structure. The enclosures incorporate
1" HDF and 1/4" stainless-steel panels to improve structural integrity and
inertness. Gershman says the Posh's cabinet has been especially designed to minimize
standing waves and the resulting resonance problems.
