| Gallo 3.1 Mains...What for the surrounds-Center I have an all-Gallo HT setup: Ref. 3.1 Front L/R, Due Center, and Ref AV Rear L/R. It sounds *spectacular*. The Ref AVs are a fairly new purchase, they replaced Dues in the rear. The Dues are now the mains in my bedroom system [smile].The Dues did... | |
| Anyone using Mapleshade bases for Gallo Ref 3's? Wow, they "correct" the Gallo's time alignment? I'm quite surprised that Anthony Gallo would spend all those years designing and developing his speakers and then allow them to get into the marketplace "un-aligned".And, have you seen the prices for... | |
| Multichannel Amp suggestions I am quite intrigued by the Butler 5 channel tube/solid state hybrid (and it's within your budget!!) - this thing looks *nice*, check it out:http://www.butleraudio.com/tdb5150.php-RW- | |
| Vintage Mcintosh Speakers - your thoughts? Jaybo, I listened to the Mac speakers using very high-quality (and powerful) amplification. The KEFs, ADSs, and Spendors walked all over them, it was no contest. BTW, this listening was done while I was a salesman for a hi-end audio salon. I had l... | |
| Vintage Mcintosh Speakers - your thoughts? All the Mac speakers I ever heard were not very good. McIntosh should stick to building electronics and such, their speakers are decidedly second rate. IMHO, of course...-RW- | |
| Satellites or full range? I have to agree with Bob. By having the ability to place the subwoofer separate from the mid/hi you can maximize the subwoofer interaction with the room. It also allows you to move the mid/hi into the room and away from walls, thus providing you w... | |
| Cat owner wants speakers The Gallos do not have a metal cage. They have a metal frame with cloth surrounding it. The Dues and the Reference AVs DO have a metal cage.As for the cat, simply keep an eye on him (her?) and if he claws the speaker grills, shoot him with a miste... | |
| Kaki King female guitar goddess? If you want to see another "guitar goddess", check out Ana Popovic - great chops, good voice, very attractive....http://www.anapopovic.com/_index2.phphttp://youtube.com/watch?v=qnrws-oQg7A-RW- | |
| Best Cartridges for the Money You've Experienced Shure V15 Type IV - best deal in the world...-RW- | |
| Prog Rock.....Porcupine Tree? Yes, Lightbulb Sun is terrific. The 2nd one to get is "In Absentia", especially the DVD-Audio surround version - WHOA! You might also enjoy their XM Studios live stuff - VERY well-recorded, albeit in 2 channel. I also have their Waszawa Live album... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Well, Raul, I think you win this year's award for longest post to the Audiogon forum! [smile] I currently use B&O MMC1 and MMC2 cartridges and I am thoroughly satisifed with the quality of my moving magnet cartridges. Of course, since I have a... | |
| Best 5.1 surround recordings? Best Surround Album, 2005 - Porcupine Tree's "In Absentia" - this one sounds TERRIFIC. Also, their latest, "Fear of a Blank Planet" is receiving well-deserved accolades.Other great surround albums:Grateful Dead - "American Beauty" and 'Workingman'... | |
| DVD player question The Toshiba doesn't do DVD-Audio, SACD, or HDCD - it is not a universal player. Denon is releasing one very soon, that will be the unit to look at...-RW- | |
| Best universal player under 1k used? I must amend my earlier post, the 5900 can be had for about $100 more than the 3910. The 5910 is *significantly* more expensive than the 3910. And it's one of a heckuva fine unit, too, but closer to $1300 used than $600. However, those 3910s that ... | |
| Attractive room treatment is it possible? Dear Listener57, I think you got it mostly right but you might consider some "stealth" wording changes to truly reflect reality and some semblance of respecting the immutable laws of physics:1) "Even though it makes no conventional sense, check ou... |
