Are the Anthony Gallo Reference 3.5 still up to it?
I disagree that they are "not that expansive."  I find the soundstage to be very wide and holographic at times. I agree though that in standard form the image is much too low.  I have overcome this by raising them 8 inches on ballistic rubber blo...

Is the surge protection metal oxide varistor based or is it  series mode?

Some of us have higher quality equipment than was used in the recording session.  
Are the Anthony Gallo Reference 3.5 still up to it?
Unfortunately the Ref 3.5's are largely undervalued because they have been paired with mid-fi components based on their original asking price. I bought mine new in 2010.  They replaced Avalon Eidolons and PMC AML1's. I originally had them driven... 
Cable elevators
Target has a good selection of finger tip towel rings: https://www.target.com/p/mdesign-metal-fingertip-towel-holder-for-bath-vanity-countertop/-/A-81209570?preselect=81209569#lnk=sametab  
Cable elevators
I use fingertip towel rings. There is no way for the cable to fall off the support because it it threaded through the rings.. The base is weighted so it will not fall over. The weight of the cable makes it self stabilizing as well.

  ARC designs are compromised and not state of the art. Overpriced for what you get. See video for the anatomy of their flagship mono blocks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR-ry-DFdeo

I had four of them and sold them all.  They did not appear to do anything either on audio or video. See:     
For Gallo Nucleus Reference Owners
I might ad that there is a high demand for Gallo Ref 3.5's.  Currently there are two "wanted" ads on US Audio Mart for them.  I was recently offered $7K for my pair plus shipping.  This motivated me even more to keep them.  When they are gone they... 
For Gallo Nucleus Reference Owners
I have owned my Gallo Ref 3.5's for the last 12 years and have no intention of replacing them.  Most loudspeakers have a dome tweeter with a port in a box.  That design is about as far from the Ref 3.5's you can get.   I would look to Spatial X4'...
