Which speaker did TAS put in place of Gallo 3


So, in the last TAS issue of recommended components, there was no mention of the Gallo Ref. 3.1 -
Which speaker in that price range did they say they thought sounded better for the money? Because of the variable price of the Gallo, after you add a sub base amp and the stands, it's confusing as to where the line is drawn on its price.
I couldn't figure it out.

In the last recommended issue which was I believe the Editors Choice awards in October 08 the Gallo was still there. There was another recommendation issue right after that which had much fewer items in it and the Gallo was gone. I dont think I would read too much into it. My net takeaway after going thru 4-5 recent issues while I look for new speakers is there are lots of choices out there and the key is to listen. I did that on a recent trip after initially being wowed by the 3.1s and found a couple of speakers that I think are far better in the same $3k aprpox range. The biggest lesson I learned is trust your ears with music you know well and see what new detail etc surfaces. Just a suggestion.
Joekapahulu - Hi, just out of curiosity, what do you feel the other players are at $3k?

Rolloff - As time goes on, newer products will push older ones off of the magazines' lists. This doesn't mean the older products are "less good", it's just that people want to read about new stuff. Also, it's in TAS's best interests to push newer stuff, for more ad revenue. They are a business, after all.
Is Gallo dis-continueing the 3.1s,in favor of the 3.5.Or will they still build both?
Goatwuss makes some valid statements concerning TAS/magazine reviews.
