Gallo Acoustics

I recently purchased a pair of Gallo Classico CL-4's and a CL-S 12" sub for use with my home theater system [powered by an Emotive 7.1 channel pre-amp & 3rd generation 7-channel amp].  They sound AMAZING!  The imaging is precise & the enormity of the soundstage is impressive. 

Experience with this combination has inspired me too purchase a pair of Gallo Reference 3.1 floor-standing speakers.  I plan to drive these with a Parasound 2100 2.1 channel pre-amp and a 2250 v2 stereo amp, bi-wired.

Anyone else out there a fan of Gallo Acoustics?  Care to ruminate over your experiences, good & bad?  Any pitfalls or cautions I need to be cognizant of with the 3.1's?

bg1968,

Thanks for the heads up on my mistake about the BiWiring.  I downloaded the owner's manual & you are quite correct.  I already have a Gallo CLS-12 subwoofer [allegedly flat from 200Hz to 16Hz] & designed to integrate with Gallo's speakers.  So, it is doubtful that I will put too much effort into acquiring the Gallo Reference3 SA...but ya never know!

MindlessMinion,

Thanks for the feedback & info.  I figured that the 3.5's were an improvement over the 3.1's.  But, as I have been keeping eyeballs on the Gallo Reference floor-stander series, for quite some time & I have never encountered any models other than the original 3 & the 3.1's on the used market.  Plus, the ones I purchased are, according to the photos, in excellent condition & the price was right.

Tangent upon how this experiment works out, I may eventually move up to one of Gallo's current Reference series, which seems to focus on sub/satt combos.
