Wow...no one has heard them?
Gallo Strada vs Paradigm Signature S1
So I’m buying new speakers for my office system, and have narrowed it down to 2 finalists: the new Gallo Reference Strada and the Paradigm Signature S1 v.3. Unfortunately, I can’t find anyone that has either to audition. I have auditioned the Paradigm Studio 20’s to get the general Paradigm sound. I also own some Gallo A’divas used in my portable system. But clearly that isn’t the same.
So I’m looking for anyone that has auditioned them both, to get any input on which would be better for the setup I have. They will be stand mounted on my desk, 6 to 8 inches off the wall, need to have low power requirements, and be fairly efficient. They will be driven by a Roth MC4 iPod doc (tube pre/13 ss watts per), with iPad/iTouch as source, a Mirage S8 sub to augment bass, and I listen to mostly mellow music, but it varies greatly.
In the winter, these will be stand mounted as primary speakers running off a Marantz SR7001 Receiver (110 watts per), with a tube buffer. They will have the same sub, and will be cutoff at 120hz.
Anyone actually heard these two speakers?
