Gallo REfF3's-All their cracked up to be?
I must echo Photon46's impressions . I too listened to them through the same CDP , CJ PV14 pre and a Cary hybrid amp . Both my wife and I felt that they were nothing to write home about ! They sounded congested and also like small speakers . When ...

Intergrated Amp with VR4jrs
I, too, was like you ! I went from all SS seperates to a hybrid integrated because "something" was missing . I loved it . Now I have gone to a fullytubed integrated . I found what was missing ! I will probably never go back to SS for music !Any be... 
Suggestions for integrated amp

Von Scheikert VR4jr in a small room .
Dlwask ; I did not mean that the VR2's did not have any base . Just that they did not have the body of the jr.'s , which I attributed to having 'less' base . I heard them both on the same set-up .I agree about monitors being better for situation a...

Von Scheikert VR4jr in a small room .
Dlwask ; You think that the VR2's are too big ? Have you tried them ? I did not find them to have nearly as much base as the jr.'s . Has any one else tried the VR2's in a room of this size ?Bgrazman : I actually auditioned the Gallo Ref. 3.1 at th...

CD Lifetime?
