best amp to drive Gallo 3.1's?
How about the Odyssey stratos with 120,000pf capacitors? 
looking for new speakers $2 to $3K
Thanks everyone, I auditioned several speakers and found the Gallo's used for $2200. I bought them. Only problem is my Valve Audio exclaime 100 is somewhat underpowered for them.

I think I have narrowed it down to two with a possible third for price.VMPS RM2 Acoustic Zen Adagiopossible Monitor Audio GS60 ( I may be able to get these for under $1 shipped )Any thoughts? 
better for under $1K MM or MC?
Please be more specific, I have found At cartridges to track poorly, and be pretty strident. The Imaging is good, and theydo bass pretty well when they track...just my opinion. 
Reduce audible hum Pro-ject RM-5
Well: I do not think it is either of these, when the cartridge is not on the vinyl there is no hum, none. Also the hum is constant in volume and pitch, not louder as it gets toward the motor, still, given the motor position this could be an issue ...
