These unusually styled speakers won the prestigious CES Design and Engineering Excellence Award back in 1978 and feature chrome end caps which match with the aforementioned stands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThey were designed to operate horizontally and were well known for being a big, powerful and punchy sounding loudspeaker with a very clean monitor sound that didn’t distort even at high levels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt was also unusual at the time for using two 200 mm bass drivers (single, larger woofers were the norm) working in parallel, and had level controls to vary the contribution made by the Celestion HF2000 tweeter and Peerless K040 midrange driver. Poor sensitivity not least thanks to its infinite baffle cabinet design led some to call it “the amp killer” due to the low impedance loads it exerted on the partnering electronics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur examples are fully working with some marks and blemishes, but importantly refurbished by Wilmslow audio in 2015. They will be suitably packaged along with our regular warranty.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"2ndhandhifi.co.uk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55322902430037,"sku":"953386","price":749.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/1094\/5365\/files\/gale-gs401-standmount-speakers-with-stands-used-chrome-front.jpg?v=1791906477","url":"https:\/\/2ndhandhifi.co.uk\/products\/gale-gs401-standmount-speakers-w-stands-chrome","provider":"2ndhandhifi.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
