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 picked up a pair of the CLS-10's. Bought Monday from underwoodhifi and got them via UPS today. They seem very well made, and pics online don't do them justice. Won't be able to get them up and running until end of next week. Had to have a pr. of 27' XLR > RCA cables made for them.

As soon as the cables get here, i'll reply back to this thread and give some early impressions.

So far, so good. Ended up with one between my speakers around 4' off front wall. The other is half way down left wall from my listening seat. Not sure this is where they will end up though. My only complaint is that the lowest X-over point is 50hz. Would be better off with a X-over point around 35-40hz in system. Well worth there asking price.

perfectpathtech,

Can you send me or post  some info on the sound coat and which spikes you used? Also what are you using for the weight on top of subs? Thanks!
