| Gallo 3.1 sounds slow and veiled...why? Dop,Are you saying the impedance curve is near flat 8 ohms at all frequencies?If so that would indicate more tube friendliness in general.Most things I've read about the gallo's suggest using high quality SS amps and the more power the better for ... | |
| This is no joke. Mickey,I could add one woofer in that I have 1 dog.nails won't work. He is a Jack Russell terrier and tends to bounce up and down a lot.PETA is tracking you down as we speak I would fear! | |
| Gallo 3.1 sounds slow and veiled...why? The thing with SET amps I think is they clip and distort in a less harsh way than SS amps. That allows them to go louder than one would expect off a few watts.Regarding SS, I think you have to throw the kitchen sink current-wise at speakers like t... | |
| This is no joke. "What I like about your finding is that you weren't expecting a change or even looking for one."That is true.Very creepy though which is why I posted. Hopefully this is as close to the Twilight zone as I get.No Rod Serling standing in the corner y... | |
| Gallo 3.1 sounds slow and veiled...why? No, but I have auditioned them and considered buying them at one point and have also done some research and read comments by owners as part of that.Never heard them on a set amp. I do not doubt they do some good things with a SET, particularly at ... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths So Raul, In a nutshell, are you saying basically to trust your own ears? | |
| Dynaudio C1, why so expensive? Doesn't aluminum ring like a bell?Sorry, I couldn't resist saying that for some reason. Whether it is or not and does or not, the Dynaudio engineers typically know what they are doing based on my experience.International exchange rates might help ... | |
| Gallo 3.1 sounds slow and veiled...why? Well, I might expect a SET to do some things well in theops area of concern with those speakers, but it would surprise me if a set could drive them to their max.I do not believe these speakers to be inherently tube friendly though and I also do no... | |
| This is no joke. It just dawned on me that if these things are really doing something, that yes I could make a fortune. That's tempting. I could use the money!Unfortunately, I am too cut from the straight mold to even consider selling voodoo. Maybe I should corner... | |
| This is no joke. Hmm, I understand the benefits of added mass, but these things really do not weigh much, 1 lb at most I would guess. Now I will have to go weigh them.I'm still leaning towards the theory that what I heard yesterday was more me for whatever reason ... | |
| This is no joke. This is what they look like: Funky Tweak | |
| Dynaudio C1, why so expensive? Listen to them properly set up compared to others at a similar or lesser price point and see what you think.You are paying for two things: good looks and build quality and top notch sound in a small package. I heard $5500/pair Totem Mani's recentl... | |
| Gallo 3.1 sounds slow and veiled...why? I think you have an underpowered tube amp for those speakers.A high power, high current SS would make a big difference I'd bet.I'd try a good Class D Icepower, like Wyred, Bel Canto or others. Wyred would not set you back too much. | |
| The "great" sound of reel to reel explained Yes, who in their right mind would prefer cold to warm?And neutral is average or boring depending on how you look at it.I want speakers that swing all three ways. That's why I run 6 or more pair at a time in different rooms. | |
| Dynaudio C1, why so expensive? They cost more than Merlin tsms or Totem Manis.They cost way less than Magico minis.They are expensive or a bargain depending on your perspective.Most new speakers have huge profit margins compared to electronics usually. You can't judge the value... |
