"The last time a speaker system BLEW MY SOCKS OFF was when I walked into a Dr. Dre session at Record One in LA. ..... but that system was literally a wall of speakers that Alan Sides had built to
handle the needs of the top Hip Hoppers.

I know Mick and Larry both have a touch of genius gene when it comes to sound ... but hearing is believing... and I quite literally couldn't believe my ears when I heard the sound coming out of this system .... for clarity and power.... no near-field...or small nuclear weapon has ever come close !!!"

Speaking of the GS-3a

"The result of these design achievements (plus a thousand or more that I have no clue about) and a high level of build quality and materials used is, in a word, astonishing. I know I promised to avoid broad sweeping generalizations, but this is one I'm comfortable with. The GS-3a is among the finest speakers I've ever heard, period. I'm not kidding, nor am I a paid spokesperson. But if they asked..."

Espen Lind, Espionage Productions, NYC, Norway

"The GS3A's blow my mind. Over the past 20 years I've spent an average of 14 hours a day between a pair of monitors, HD-1, S4A, Genelecs, Dynaudios, you name it...and the GS3A is the finest studio monitor I've heard, bar none. Incredibly detailed, and they let me hear exactly what goes on in the low end. And they can play LOUD!"

Kevin Becka, Mix, October 12th, 2009

I just got back from AES in NY and saw a lot of great new gear. One of the best new offerings was offsite at Quad Studios on Times Square where I had the chance to critically listen to the new Guzauski-Swist 3-way active mid/near field speakers. I’ve had the pleasure of working with both Mick and Larry in studio on a lot of mixes and these guys are both consummate pros who know their gear down to the design level. So it was no surprise that these speakers were among of the best I’ve heard. They had them mounted on the meter bridge of an SSL J 9080 and they rocked the room.

The system features a 12″ low resonance, long excursion driver in a sealed cabinet, a 3″ Dome ATC Midrange and a 1″ Morel Softdome Tweeter. 1500 Watts of class D amplification is included in a separate rack chassis. Inputs can be analog or digital using state-of-the-art AD/DA converters and analog components. There is also integrated DSP with user definable room compensation equalization and delay adjustments. The system goes for $12k and is available directly from the manufacturer.
