Guru 8 or 12?
actual prices of all models (also the new) are available on the website of the Guru dealer in the Netherlands
Now Iām intrigued 
(At the very least to understand what this speaker offers)
Itās a lovely looking product. Reminds me a little of Epos ES14 N (in white)
12
Hey @ratrat, somehow I thought at some point youād had Guru Juniors, but checking out your profile see I must have mis-imagined things.
Iām hoping the speaker builds on what the Q10/QM10 delivers, speaking with Guru they feel this has moved the game on, which if it has Iāll be pretty happy. Timing has always been their forte, just have a certain rightness to how they play a tune. They are saying there is more transparency and the bass is even better.
Really like the design, clean lines.

I thought they went bust. Their home page list none of the speakers you talk about 
Are you evaluating prototypes for them or? Thereās no address, phone or organisation number and their latest post on Facebook was more than a year ago. Seems like the brand is owned by a Peopleaudio AB in Sweden which has a turnover of 55 000GBP 2023 and the company is registered at a private address (house) in Stockholm area. Is Ingvar Ćhman still part of the design as he was in the beginning?
12 hours earlier today I had most the same questions so I dropped them a line via their contact page. @anon27418182 piqued my interest by mentioning the new models and I had seen the Q28 on the website some time ago but heard nothing since, other than another member on this site had ordered a pair earlier in the year.
They came back and confirmed the new models as per the info that Badlyread had shared earlier, this being the model 8 and model 12. Exchanged a few emails with them and ordered a pair of the new 12ās, should be a mid Jan delivery.
It could all blow up in my face, and I remember seeing all the angst and understandable upset with the Witch hat situation, hopefully everything will be fine. I was an early adopter of them when they released their first speaker and still have it, so probably have a soft spot for them, but its purely based on the speaker performance that I have heard in all their previous models.
Totally get this is no guarantee that it will be another success, but here is hoping they repeat it.
Honestly donāt know if Ingvar is anything to do with them anymore.
Assume you paid by Credit Card?
These will run off your Technics?
yes, they really have a poor website lacking all interesting technical information. The distributor in the Netherlands seems to be very close to the motherhouse and has slightly some more details (prices and launch time of the new products). Recently this distributor presented the Guru 12 during a bighifi event in the Netherlands.

Yeah, CC used. No, these are earmarked for the Naim system in the house, Technics already has its Guruās in the QM10ās.
The Technics was another gamble, obviously not quite with the degrees of this one, given company size and availability of reviews, but was bought blind but influenced by others experience (yours being a large one), so hopefully fortune will favour the brave, or foolhardyā¦

Hello,
did you try a set up with the Guruās at a larger distance from the back wall and so, yes how did this affect the soundstage (I know Guruās advice is a very close back wall position, but in my setup that wouldnāt be possible) ?
which stands do You use, for me more attractive than the origial wooden Guru ones ?
Thx,
Hi,
In every situation Iāve been able to set them up as recommended, however the pair i sold to a mate are pretty randomly spaced and still sound like Gurus.
The stands they are on in the cabin are my long term Target R2 stands that were made for ProAc Studio 100ās but have proved to be great all rounders. They are super heavyweights, Iād guess at about 40-50kgs each.
Iāve also had them on other stand and key is that they are sat on their foam feet, provides a layer of isolation.
