■Pair

A super tweeter system that allows you to easily enjoy add-on tweeters with the GS103A-VB is now available.

■Product Overview

The GS17H is a super tweeter system ideally suited for add-on use with the premium full-range system GS103A-VB. By adding high-frequency components, the spatial expression is improved, the overall clarity of the music is enhanced, and the quality of the GS103A-VB's full-range sound is increased. The English walnut-style finish, which creates a sense of unity with the GS series, further enhances the appeal of the bookshelf speaker system.

Main Features

■Equipped with the long-selling FT17H horn-type super tweeter

The FT17H, introduced in 1986, inherits the crisp and neutral sound quality from its predecessor, the FT15H (introduced in 1980), thanks to its high-precision molded horn and aluminum diaphragm, and has remained a long-selling super tweeter to this day.


■ All-in-One Design

The FT17H incorporates a high-pass filter using CX series capacitors, carefully selected through extensive trial and error to achieve optimal sound quality. This eliminates the need for network component selection and wiring. Furthermore, setup is simple: just place it on top of the GS103A-VB and connect the included speaker cables to the terminals.

■ Domestically Produced English Walnut-Style Enclosure

The enclosure is domestically produced with the same English walnut-style finish as the GS103A-VB. This creates a high-quality, unified look for the entire system.
