Gallo Classico Subwoofers


Anyone here have any experience with them?  I'm looking to buy two small subs to compliment my Aerial 5B speakers.  This will be strictly for music in a small room (office).  I already have a little REL T3 that just cannot play low enough (-6db@30hz).  I want something fast (musical) that will blend well with the little Aerials which drop off sharply around 70hz.  The Classico is available in a 10" which is -3db@19hz or a 12 which is -3db@16hz.  My understanding is that they are some sort of transmission line enclosure which I have no experience with.  Anyone have any advice on which model to choose or should I go with something else altogether?

I’ve been thinking about getting the 10" sub. I have the Gallo Classico 3 floorstanders and I can tell you that the bass and overall sound is very musical, fast, and tight. So, I’m sure the subs are voiced the same way.

For Rock, my Classico’s bass is deep and tight, but for Classical I feel I’m missing the lowest octave on some recordings and I’m sure the sub would fill this area nicely. As I said, the drivers, are very musical.

The sub is not a true transmission line, but Gallo’s design pushes air thru the cabinet to get a big sound out of a small cabinet.
I like that the sub has a +3dB or +6dB bass boost, they call it bass EQ. If you have small room, a pair of the 10" subs will do (300 watts).
BTW, Underwood Wally is having a sale.
