Page 3 of 3 S-7500 stands for partial resolution of problems experienced with Gigabyte loudspeakers. Unfortunately, just partial, considering that all the controls are positioned on rear side of low-tone, meaning it is far worse than if they were positioned on rear side of the satellite, still being bad, but slightly less. Praiseworthy fact is that 7500 is not only 6500 with low-tone, but separate set of dimensions and slightly changed in design.
All of this directly contributes to the fact that Gigabyte is dedicated to the field of loudspeakers and they don’t want to take things for granted. Hence, what is better in this matter? For starters, the 5“ unit of low-tone positively contributing to bigger picture. Still, crossover frequencies of the whole system are pretty strange, and it seems rather difficult to find mid-tone optimum, whilst you will not encounter more serious issues in finding low and high tones. Emerge of 5.1 version is a matter of time, or at least until Gigabyte decides to make separate command module, because otherwise, everything will be meaningless.
Bottom line as a conclusion of this story is that we are facing two fairly quality attempts of the manufacturer who just starts to emerge in this field. Stated critics are realistic representation of a balance between advantages and downsides. This type of criticism also goes for far better established manufacturers having better knowledge in this matter. Have in mind that everything can be fixed properly if the system disposes of realistic options whatsoever, certainly applying in this case, and, of course, not all of us like to listen the same frequencies if they are stressed out. Therefore, Gigabyte is welcomed to enter the market, but we are expecting increasingly better and more diversified products. Stagnation is the worst option of all.
