Anthony Gallo Acoustics Due vs Totem DreamCatcher

Hello everyone:

I was wondering has anyone compared the Anthony Gallo Acoustics Due to the Totem DreamCatcher speakers? Which one is supposed to be better sonically and has full reproduction. Also, I plan to get the regular DreamCatcher for the center and not the center channel version as I only have 17" and not the 21" it requires. Several dealers who carry both Gallo and Totem recommend the DreamCatcher over the Due when the Totem is 1/3 the price but they said there is no midrange/midbass in the Due. I thought the Nucleus Micro's might not have a midrange as it's a single driver but these have two of the drivers and then the tweeter. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Could you perhaps drive to one of your dealers and actually listen to them? It sounds as if your mind is made up, especially with the built-in jingoism of Canadian brands vs US brands.

I would think 57 Hz with a 4" driver is really pushing it; how far down in dB response is it? Also remember, the Dues have two 4" drivers which would push more air, all things being equal, and drive up the actual manufacturing cost of the speakers. That may be a clue why they cost more, plus their unusual, non-drop-in tweeter. Would their enclosure cost more to make than a box? Who knows?

Having heard neither one of 'em,

Almighty1,

You are correct about the size of the drivers in the Due's. When I read in the literature that they had 4" speakers, I was thinking drivers. Sorry for trying to mislead you. And, according to my old math formulas, 2 - 3" drivers only have an increase of 12% cone area (air movement) than a single 4".

Too bad there isn't someone who could send you a set of each to try for a week.

Good Luck!
