Gallo 3.1 vs. B&W 804 vs. faber grand piano
I listen mostly to Rock, Industrial, & Punk, with some Folk, Jazz, and Classical thrown in for good measure. I really like my Gallo Ref 3.1s, but I'm not extremely familiar with the other options you're looking into. 
Which speaker did TAS put in place of Gallo 3
Agreed James, but when I read it in the manual it struck me as that was the only way they were sold.Again thanks for the correction.

P.S. The place I'd read this was my owners manual..."The Nucleus Reference3 speakers are sold in mirror-imaged pairs"

That's interesting, I hadn't contacted Gallo about it, but I had read that they were only available as pairs.Thanks for the correction. 
how big a speaker can you put in an 11 x 11 room?
Since one wall of your room isn't really a wall, but an opening into a much larger room, I wouldn't consider your room to be small. Much depends on the layout of the speakers and your listening position in the 11x11 area where the system will reside.

The 3.1 is only sold in pairs. So it's very doubtful you could get single 3.1 for a center anyway.

Well my Stein Audio stands should be here towards the end of this coming week, so I'll shoot a note off to Paul over at Soundocity about the outriggers once the stands are here.Thanks RW, Barry

Hi Dan,Well as Dopogue, mentions those spikes are no longer available. Also my stands are different than the stands you see on the Stein Audio website. They are of my own design, that I asked Scott to produce for me. My stands are larger than the ...

Well in that case RW, an excellent purchase. I may add a set of those to the bottom of the stands that Scott is building for me for even greater width. Thanks for the info!

Hi Tpsonic,Yours are more than Reference IIs, as your speakers consist of 3 woofer units on the paralax (sp?) stands. Somewhere between the Ultimate and Reference versions ;~) I recently sold my Ref IIs, but I still have my Polly sphere'd Solos, a...

Not to pick nits, but isn't it more like $200 since you need to buy 2 sets of out-riggers at $100 each?I've contacted Scott Stein about a custom base of my own design, and I think the price will be in the same ball-park, maybe a little more if I d...
