New Gallo 3.5's


Prototypes of new Gallo 3.5's being shown at CES. I have the 3.1's and am a big fan. These new Gallo's look really nice. May even convert some of you high enders out there who snub Gallo speakers. Go to link: http://www.soundstage2.com/lasvegas2009/sd07.html

Neil Gader says they're "easier to drive", quoting 4-ohm 87db sensitivity. But the original Reference 3 and 3.1s (I have the Ref 3s) are 8-ohm, 88db sensitive, so what gives? Anyone know if the 3.5s have the same dual (woofer) voice coils as the originals?
Wow, $5800 clams per pair - almost double the price of the 3.1s. They would have to sound INCREDIBLY superior to make them worth that money. And I'm not too keen on the base/outriggers, they look cheesy IMHO. I already have outriggers on my 3.1s, paid $100 for 'em...

Barry, here are some links to the outriggers (I bought the "economical" ones, I'm a well-known skinflint)
