Andre Jennings’ Most coveted products: ​Gauder Akustik DARC 200 loudspeakers

… However, there was something else of interest in this room. The item was the Gauder Akustik loudspeaker DARC 200 loudspeakers (149 k$). Being familiar with Gauder Akustik’s Berlina RC 9, which I reviewed in April of 2016 (TAS 262), I was intrigued with the DARC 200. The speaker takes the Berlina rib construction to new heights with the implementation of aluminium instead of dense fibre materials. In addition, the crossovers and drivers are new and have been improved over the years. The speaker features some adjustability in terms of linear bass output level and selective boost/cut between 30-60 Hz (typical problem areas for many rooms) Driven by a full suite of Accuphase electronics or alternatively a full set of Soulution electronics and sourced by a Transrotor TT with Air tight Opus One cartridge, the DARC 200 speakers sounded very promising and easily showed the user-preference-based difference between the two sets of electronics: one leaning towards rich and warm while the other being quicker and having slightly more-perceived low-level resolution. The performance was enjoyable enough to foresee a review of a DARC loudspeaker in the near future.
