New Gallo Strata's sound like tin-cans: break-in time problem?
I posted earlier without looking at the speakers, now I have and they are a unique design what were your previous speakers? They go down to 68hz so not low at all. I could see how that might sound like a "tin can" if you had speakers with actual l... 
New Gallo Strata's sound like tin-cans: break-in time problem?
