Are the Anthony Gallo Reference 3.5 still up to it?


Hi. I've enjoyed my Gallo 3.5s for many years but with upgrades to the rest of my system (Gato Audio monoblocks and preamplifier) I'm wondering if I should upgrade my speakers too.

I enjoy 'interesting' speaker designs from a purely aesthetic perspective and am interested in Vivid Audio, Audiovector Trapeze Ri, Aequo Stilla, Lyngdorf CUE-100 and others. They're all very different but sound very good to my ears.

I can't audition those other speakers at home with my electronics, in my room. So I'm interested in any views on whether the Gallos have stood the test of time. Any owners out there still love them? Any who have moved on? Any other thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies. I'll look into adding a couple of subwoofers as an option.

Yes, the Gato amps are the PWR-222s. I like them a lot. I have them paired with the new PRE-1 and I'm very happy with the setup. That's what's got me wondering whether the Gallo speakers are up to it!

Thanks for that reply. You might have just helped me save a lot of money!

Any other views on the 3.5s in this day and age?
