I have a pair that I use to drive Gallo 3.1's and they sound wonderful. If you are interested the Mid-Monos I would urge you to consider the Silver Sixties. IMHO... | |

| Gallo Reference 3 SA Owners When I tried turning off my main amps and just use the Gallo amp to power the second voice coil I got no sound when the volume control was set to zero. I didn't start getting sound until I started to increase the gain. I think you are supposed to ... | |

| Dynaudio S5.4 and ML No.436? I wouldn't do anything until the speakers are broken in. It can take up to 200 hours before they sound their best. I'm running mine with a pair of Pass Labs Aleph 1.2's and there is no hint of brightness. I don't think the amp is the problem. It m... | |
