| Gallo reference /TAS vs Me Another vote for facing the woofers in. | |
| Gallo reference /TAS vs Me Romad,How did you like them with the VAC 30/30? Was 32 watts enough to drive them effectively? If so, I'd bet that was a fantastic combination.Jeff | |
| Jungson or DK Design: good with Quad 989's? I agree with Newbee on his original assessment that the dynamics issue probably lies with the Quad's, not the amplifier. The Quad's are exceptional speakers; however, their few deficiencies are well docuemented. Limited dynamics, as most people de... | |
| Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking? Wadia 850 and Cary 805c. | |
| Tubes and microphonics If you hit stop on your CD player during a loud passage, and your speakers seem to ring for an instant before they go quiet, your tubes are microphonic. It's usually very obvious.Jeff | |
| What Happens When You Die? Mine will probably end up for sale on a shelf at the thrift store. The first person to recognize it will have a very good day! | |
| After Quad ESL's? I had my Quad ESL-63's for 7 years. I enjoyed every minute with them.I recently upgraded to a pair of Gallo Reference 3's. If you can stretch your budget, they are worth an audition. They compete with the best of the best in the imaging category. ... | |
| Gallo Ref III Amps/impressions Anyone have the SA amp yet? Is it available, or are we still waiting? Last I heard, March was the date. Anyone know any different?When I first bought these speakers, I thought I would need it. Now that mine are broken in, I'm not so sure. They are... | |
| gallo ref3 with the golden ear awards? The longer I own 'em, the more I love 'em. I continue to listen to reference models from other manufaturers. These match or better their performance every time, typically at a fraction of the price.Anything this riduculously good at such a low pri... | |
| Schweikert VR4-Jr vs. Gallo Reference 3 with SA It has been a long time since I have listened to Electrocompaniet. From what I remember, it sounds very smooth for solid state. I am sure it would make an excellent match to either speaker.Congratulations on your choice. I'm sure you would be very... | |
| Schweikert VR4-Jr vs. Gallo Reference 3 with SA I auditioned both extensively before purchase. I ended up purchasing the Gallo Ref III's. Much like you, pricing was not a factor in this choice.It is not easy to explain the differences between these speakers. The VR4-Jr's sounded heavy and somew... | |
| Amp for Gallo Reference 3a's? I am using Cary 805C's, and the combination works great.While this may be a little out of you price range, I would suggest trying to find a used pair of SLM-100's. I had a pair these before upgrading to 805C's, and they were really nice. Also, a u... | |
| Gallo reference /TAS vs Me Tlerpan1,The Gallos require some set-up experimentation for best results. I ended up with the woofers facing each other and the speakers toed-in to nearly directly face the listing position. This position puts the image height at about 5' to 6', w... | |
| VR-4jr or Gallo Nucleus Reference 3 Zog,What's your short list? Just curious.Thanks,Jeff | |
| VR-4jr or Gallo Nucleus Reference 3 I don't think the Ref 3s necessarily require a lot of wattage as I am perfectly content with 50 watts. I do think that large scale classical music sometimes requires a lot of wattage. The Gallos sound great with 50 watts for the kind of music I li... |
