| Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money? Just bought one of the last refurb/closeout pairs of Gallo CL3's. Un-freaking-believable for the $650 shipped I paid. Holographic imaging, wide dispersion tweeters, super detailed yet musical and bass down to 30hz. Crazy deal. | |
| Best speakers under $500? Fire away! update: I compared the Gallo CL2's that I got on closeout for $390 to the Kef LS50 today at a dealer. I preferred the Gallos in every way. More detailed, wider soundstage, much faster sounding, blacker background and deeper bass. If you like speak... | |
| Recommend a budget floor standing speaker less than $1,000 My Tekton Lore Reference are astounding for $750/pair. He has a couple other models that fit that range as well. Pair them with an EL34 based integrated and you will be in heaven for a very low price. | |
| Best speakers under $500? Fire away! Not sure I would go that far, but definitely $500 or under the CL-2's would be extremely hard to beat. My Lore Reference at $750 sound better, but they are also an incredible bargain. | |
| Best speakers under $500? Fire away! I see you went with the B6. I think this a mistake based on your amp - they are overly warm, (rolled off really) and very bass heavy (boomy) unless you have a room that is very well treated or can move them into the room about 4 feet, no kidding. ... | |
| Best speakers under $500? Fire away! One other option is a used pair of Tekton Lore Reference - They can be had about $500. Very efficient, huge effortless dynamics and soundstage. | |
| Best speakers under $500? Fire away! seriously, the Gallo CL2's I bought are still breaking in and have detail, accuracy, spaciousness and natural tone that will put many of these suggestions to shame. They are 90db and a transmission line - the bass is extended and accurate, you can... | |
| Best speakers under $500? Fire away! You may like the sound of the Elacs, but you will most definitely not be happy with their fit and finish. Terrible, cheap veneer. The Gallos are made to a much nicer and long lasting standard. | |
| Best speakers under $500? Fire away! edit, I think Dan at Gallo only has one pair left. Get em!! | |
| Best speakers under $500? Fire away! Gallo Acoustics still has some Classico CL-2 in stock. They were originally 1200 through dealers, then 800 direct. I just bought a pair for $390. A friend brought over his Elac B6 for comparison. The Gallos, as expected, completely outclassed them... | |
| Raven Audio Tube amps I'm wondering if anyone has compared the Raven Nighthawk to any of the Primaluna integrateds? Specifically looking at the Prologue Premium. Thanks. | |
| How old is too old for a Dac? I see some discussion of newer DAC’s sounding better on redbook - I’ll just add that we did a comparison in my system of my Musical Fidelity A3.5 with a Schitt Modi 2 Uber and the CD player still sounded much better using its own dac than as a tra... | |
| Tekton Speakers - Want To Demo Let me know if you happen to travel down to Florida. I have a set of Tekton Lore Reference w/a 50w tube amp that sound great and you are welcome to come listen. Located in Jacksonville. | |
| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation The Tritons are very good, some of the others on your list are too polite for what you are looking for. Look at the Tekton range - the dynamics and slam from my Lore Reference speakers with just 50 tube watts is stunning. Mahler 5 Chicago Symphony... |
