Gallo reference /TAS vs Me

In my room the Gallo's still need EXTENSIVE break in, but already:
1) Look good (meet the family's approval)
2) Are flexible about placement
3) Have great dispersion (more than two consenting adults may share the sweet spot)
$) Are fast and extended (scary-fabulous tweeter!)
4) Render the acoustic well (good depth)
5) Throw better and more quality-bass than any of my previous speakers (various Quads)
6) Are easy to drive and tube friendly (CJ MV-60)
7) Sound great at low volumes (late at night)
8) Continue to improve daily

As a former Quad-57/63 listener, my listening confirms that this speaker is a whole new game.

I am awaiting a pair of the cigar box size NuForce Reference 8 Mono's, 100wpc Class D amps to try with the Gallo's full-range, and will let you know what I hear. Could be the ticket, or with their damping factor of >4000(!) the NuForce may be the perfect bass amp.

More to follow...

Good listening, with good music!

I tried woofers facing out and woofer facing in. With the speakers at least 5' from the side walls (no reinforcement from the side walls) I prefered the sound with the woofers facing in... more bass
So, with bass drivers each other on the long wall of my listening room I heard:
More toe-in produced better midrange dynamics (voices more emotionally expressive... but the trade-off is a less defined bass.
And, with little or no toe-in... more and firmer bass, but with less midrange dynamics (snare and voices become compressed).
