Gershman Acoustics Posh
The Gershman Acoustics Posh pairs sweeping soundstage scale with rich, organic midrange, delivering detail without sacrificing ease. In SoundStage Solo, Howard Kneller heard a spacious, soothing presentation, while the adjustable SSAS frame, sealed tapered cabinets, and steel bracing underline its pursuit of coherent, low-resonance performance. It is a visually striking flagship for listeners drawn to immersive musical flow.

What Reviewers Are Saying
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 85/100
The available listening report describes a spacious, detailed and relaxed presentation, with particularly rich midrange tone. Direct comments on low-bass behavior, treble character in isolation, and dynamic scale are limited, and the audition used tube electronics and an analog source.
Bass
82/100
The Posh uses two 8-inch woofers in a dedicated lower enclosure, but the listening report does not directly assess extension, grip, weight, or impact. There are no reported bass shortcomings, though prospective buyers should note that low-frequency performance was not a focus of the audition.
Mid
90/100
The reviewer heard gorgeously rich, organic midrange textures, a clear strength of the presentation. This impression came from a tube-and-analog demonstration system, but it still points to an inviting and naturally expressive vocal and instrumental range.
Treble
80/100
The overall sound was described as detailed yet soothingly free and easy, which suggests an unfatiguing top end in the demonstrated system. The review does not separately evaluate treble extension, air, or behavior with brighter recordings.
Soundstage Imaging
90/100
The reviewer specifically describes sweeping soundstages, while the adjustable, separated enclosures are intended to support time alignment for the listening position. There is no detailed discussion of image specificity or depth layering, but the reported sense of scale was notably positive.
Dynamics
80/100
The review notes that the separated woofer section is intended to reduce interference with the upper drivers. It says little about macro-dynamic slam, low-level contrast, or composure at high playback levels.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
90/100
The Posh is extensively engineered around vibration control, with two sealed, tapered HDF enclosures, thick walls, internal stainless-steel bracing, and an adjustable stainless-steel support frame. Premium Mundorf crossover parts, Furutech wiring, adjustable Tiptoe footers, and substantial proprietary woofer assemblies further indicate carefully specified construction.
Value for Money
85/100
At $129,000 per pair, the Posh competes in a highly demanding luxury-speaker market. The review identifies the asking price but does not make direct value judgments or compare it with competing floorstanders, so buyers will need to weigh its distinctive modular design and presentation against alternatives in this price class.

Manufacturer's Description — Gershman Acoustics
Innovative Design: Revolutionizing Loudspeaker Performance
The Posh comes in two parts, a top section with an Accuton ceramic midrange and a soft-dome tweeter, and a bottom section with two woofers, each in its tuned enclosure. What’s unusual is that the two sections are totally separate from each other. The top is held up by a sculpted steel frame, and the woofer section slides in underneath, not quite touching it.
A Breakthrough in Design and Integration
That will of course depend on the distance to the listening area. An upscale speaker must be built from upscale parts, and the Posh is exactly that. The enclosures, made of 2.5 cm HDF (high-density fibreboard rather than the usual MDF), are reinforced by 6 mm stainless steel plates and are tapered to reduce the incidence of standing waves. The finish is an attractive, Italian, High End glossy black piano finish, but — as you’d expect from a product of this caliber, — they can be any color you desire..
The connectors, from Furutech (Germany), are larger than most and can be tightened thoroughly with only finger pressure. There is a pair of these connectors on the midrange/high unit, but the bass module has two pairs, connected together internally.
There is no crossover in the lower (bass) module. The top module uses a highest -grade capacitor, a Mundorf MCap Supreme Classic Silver-Gold Oil. It is oil-filled, and, as its name suggests, its stators are made with very pure gold and silver. The crossover also uses a Mundorf resistor, an MResist Supreme. The resistor is in a casting compound, to stabilize it and prevent it from acting like a microphone. Lest you suspect that this might be some voodoo theory, in fact almost any product used in audio reproduction can be a microphone. Connectors and soldered joints are especially apt to be microphonic, and there are plenty of both in a loudspeaker.
