Gallo Reference 3.1; What integrated amp?
I haven't heard the SA, so I am only speculating here. But wouldn't activiating the 2nd voice coil introduce more vibration to the whole speaker? Not sure if it affects the sound at all. But if I could feel the rumble from my seat, the other drive... 
Chesky Records & poor sevice,

Gallo 5LS prototype towers at the CES
According to this Stereophile show report, they were there but I haven't read a lot of discussion eitherhttp://blog.stereophile.com/ces2007/011207shin/ 
Will leaving an amp powered-up all the time...
I'm with Stevecham. Also if a amp manufacture is stating to keep a amp on all the time to sound their best, then it's a crutch and design flaw IMHO, I'd stay away. There are plenty of amps that sound great upon turn on.

I would not suggest placing on the stands and in back. The vibration of the speaker to the stand will make its way to the amp. Don't forget that dipole sound propagate front and rear equally so air pressure from playing too loud could also add to ... 
Gallo Reference 3.1 in a large room?
It seems like at the HE shows the Gallo's are shown in a fairly large room and always sounded terrific, you should'nt have any problems, I would say these speakers sound their best in larger rooms. 
Audiophile Liquidator....OK??
I've purchased some speakers from them and their shipping is very high. I purchased 4 of the same speakers and they came in different shipments and days. But it still net cheaper then anywhere else.

Do I need better center ch speaker-dialog unclear?
Not sure what's behind your center speaker, but try some damping. Throw a bunch of sofa cushion temporarily to see if that does anything.
