| New Gallo Strata's sound like tin-cans: break-in time problem? Those speakers were broken. Folks who contributed here understood and said so, but as a long time Magneplanar owner the transition to dynamic speakers generated some self-doubt about my own perceptions. Thus, I was not confident about immediately... | |
| New Gallo Strata's sound like tin-cans: break-in time problem? Breaking news. Received replacement (new) Strada II's and, having heard my original speakers which I returned, the Gallo distributor and I conclude the original speakers were defective. Now beginning the break-in process with high hopes. My very e... | |
| New Gallo Strata's sound like tin-cans: break-in time problem? Issue resolved...I hope. Vendor has an experience based diagnosis of the problem and replacement speakers are on the way. I know everyone who has contributed is curious so I'll post a conclusive report once the new speakers are up and running in m... | |
| New Gallo Strata's sound like tin-cans: break-in time problem? dopogue: Incorrect spelling of Strada.....are you perhaps referring to the careless person who initiated this whole discussion? Well, all I can say is you're right, and old habits die hard. Correction noted. -M | |
| New Gallo Strata's sound like tin-cans: break-in time problem? Breaking news! In re-packing these Stratas for return to the vendor, I uncovered the original shipping label on the box. It was sent from Gallo in Chatsworth CA to the vendor. The shipping date was 03-2013. I'm not surprised about a set of speaker... | |
| New Gallo Strata's sound like tin-cans: break-in time problem? alltrinnov8, your description was exactly what I needed to know. The statement, " Right out of the box, the Stradas sounded great but they did sound marginally but noticeably better after a week or so of daily use" confirms my speakers are someth... | |
| New Gallo Strata's sound like tin-cans: break-in time problem? alltrinnov7;Thank you. Your description of set-up and impressions is very helpful. A few questions. Did you have the system professionally installed? Is this exclusively a theater system and if not, how do the speakers perform playing source music... | |
| New Gallo Strata's sound like tin-cans: break-in time problem? twoleftears;What was that????? I think it was Paul Klipsch who theorized, the best way to improve a speaker was make it louder. | |
| New Gallo Strata's sound like tin-cans: break-in time problem? MrD. you provide humorous but realistic counterpoint. Thanks. I have several reasons for downsizing and right now none of them seem worth the loss of my Maggies. Still, I assumed the professional reviewers would be astute enough to place the Strat... | |
| New Gallo Strata's sound like tin-cans: break-in time problem? Previous speakers were Maggies 1.7, themselves not the ideal of bass speakers. However, the 1.7's never sounded tinny nor did they have the output volume anomaly I'm hearing. When I use the Gallo 3D subwoofer with various adjustments of crossover,... | |
| New Gallo Strata's sound like tin-cans: break-in time problem? Let me amend my update by clarifying the 200 hrs are required for "full potential". I didn't intend to portray the vendor as unreasonable. Thanks for advise. | |
| New Gallo Strata's sound like tin-cans: break-in time problem? Update: After checking with the vendor; he maintains the Strata's need "at least 200 hrs" break-in time. So, in order to maintain my option to return the items for refund, I'm going to run these speakers a while longer...... maybe he's right, b... | |
| New Gallo Strata's sound like tin-cans: break-in time problem? Thanks to everyone for all these suggestions. A few are answered in my previous update when I moved the speakers to a completely different electronic system (Onkyo receiver and CD player using different wiring and connectivity in a different, smal... | |
| New Gallo Strata's sound like tin-cans: break-in time problem? Thanks very much for these suggestions. Strata's are not bi-wireable (only two posts on each). I have run the polarity tests for both the amp and the subwoofer. Also, the pre-amp has polarity options which I tested. Essentially, I've been thru ev... | |
| New Gallo Strata's sound like tin-cans: break-in time problem? Many Thanks to both responders Since then I have made some changes to confirm the problem: moved the Stratas to a different and much smaller room with wood floors, and connected to an Onkyo TX8160 receiver (80 wpc into 8ohms plus an Onkyo CD 7030)... |
