| New Gallo 3.5's Wow,$6000.00! What is he smoking? I use a custom made stand from Sound Anchor for my 3.1's. They give them an 8" lift and weigh 50 lbs. That gives me the height and bass improvement for $2500 less. I cannot see the Outriggers being more stable tha... | |
| Speakers for difficult placement. The Gallos do not have a built-in subwoofer, they have the ability to hook up an additional amp to power the second voice coil, but it is not needed in many applications and the Gallos hit low just fine without them imho. The Gallo's should work v... | |

| Gallo Reference 3.1 questions... The Gallos are too cheap for Stereophile. If you added a zero onto the price of them, Stereophile would be all over it. They were on the cover of The Absolute Sound in 2004 as speaker of the year. | |
| Sapphire Speakers I believe Sapphire was a private label brand carried in Sound Advice/Tweeter to replace the B&W line they lost a few years ago. Not sure if they still carry them. I would buy a more popular brand for better support and resale value.Steel | |
| Parasound JC-1 power amplifier Sounds like Kool Aide. So you are basically saying that no Parasound amp can ever best a Krell, Boulder amp, because of their marketing and pricing? As ssaid, the exact same amp would be 4x the price with a Krell stamp on it. There is also a ponit... | |
| Gallo Reference 3.1 questions... The Gallo's do image wide but not very high. I use Sound Anchor stands with mine to get the image at the right height. The extra mass also helps the bass tighten. They may just not have been for you. I find that they tend to put the image behind t... | |
| Gallo Reference 3.1 questions... If you sold them within 2 months, they were probably not even broken in at that time. I was unimpressed with the Gallos when I first bought them. They were nasilly and constrained on the top end and mid-range. The bottom end was too lean. I though... | |
| Isolation Devices for Digital I think that the cones used on equipment do drain vibrations, but it is not a one way street and can send vibrations back up as others have said. Thus, I find many people that use spikes, do so on top of another indepedent platform that is isolate... | |
| Brand preference and opinions It is hard to shop like that because, as high end cars are a finished complete product, the amp is just one piece of the puzzle and being top shelf alone does not mean it will perform good. I have heard very expensive amps and speakers sound terri... | |
| Thiel CS6 Try a Butler amp. Thiel uses Butler amps to test their speakers. | |
| Gallo Ref 3's for musician? I have been trying to find the perfect amp for the Gallo 3.1's recently. I tried Parasound, Arcam monoblocks, Carver Silver 9T monoblocks at 575 watts. I have a 250 watt Krell that sounsd great, but a little on the dry side with the Gallos. My for... | |
| Topic: Denon DVD-2900 vibrates My 2900 usually only vibrates when reading a new disc. It does vibrate sometimes, but never during playback so it does not bother me. Most times it is inaudible during all playback. | |
