Model 1596 shown in light cherry finish.
The Gertner Audio® model 1596 speakers place you in a different class of high end audio equipment. The unique design and quality construction incorporated in the model 1596 reduces distortion and increases efficiency. Music will sound full and clear adding a new dimension to your listening experience.
The model 1596 was designed to maintain a nominal 8 ohm resistance while still obtaining an outstanding 96 dB/1W/1M efficiency. This means you can choose from many distinguished low power amplifiers, as well as allowing your amplifier to operate easier. Of course, with the capability of handling 150W continuous and considerably higher maximum, future upgrades in power would certainly be comfortable.
The model 1596 goes much further than simply allowing your system to operate at its best. Besides the low distortion prevalent with the components, the special driver compliment and patented angled port design transpose music into life like performances.
All of this technology is matched by the attention given to aesthetics. The model 1596 is designed with your living space in mind. It is a floor standing model with a reasonably sized footprint to provide for robust sound reproduction without being overstated.
