| Gallo REfF3's-All their cracked up to be? I have found a system configuration that sounds really wonderful. In fact, it's the best stereo system I've ever heard anywhere. Modwright 9.0SE tube preamp, pair of Conrad Johnson Premier 12 amps driving Gallo Ref3 speakers. The combination of a ... | |
| Tube amp recommendation for Gallo Reference 3's Ninoe:My current system includes a ModWright 9.0SE preamp and C-J Premier 12 monoblocks driving Gallo Ref3's. I am using the speaker-level output from the Premier 12's as input to the Gallo Sub-amp driving the second voice coil. This is the best-s... | |
| Gallo Reference 3 stand bracket question Rolloff:I made a PDF showing my Gallo Ref3 speaker bases. How do I post it? | |
| Gallo Reference 3 stand bracket question Dave:I was also concerned about instability of the Gallo Ref3's in earthquake-prone California. I designed a pair of stands that I had made at Timber Nation. The bases are 12" x 15" x 3" solid maple, finished and painted black. They tightened up t... | |
| Tube amp recommendation for Gallo Reference 3's Jeffreybehr: I am really put off by all the reports of problems with the Hurricanes. Especially since there is no factory in USA to support them. | |
| Conrad Johnson 140 or 12A monoblocks? Thank you Downunder! This is very helpful. I will try to get the 12's, if I can find a pair. | |
| Tube amp recommendation for Gallo Reference 3's To Jeffreybehr:Thanks for your suggestion. I checked out the ASL Hurricanes. They look really good. I really like the idea of not giving up the power of a SS amp. How would you describe them tonally? I am not worried about bass, since I have a Gal... | |
| Tube amp recommendation for Gallo Reference 3's To Jeffreybehr: The NAD S200 is rated at 225 wpc into 8 ohms and 450 wpc into 4 ohms. It is a member of the Silver Series, NAD's first foray into high-end audio, which never caught on. | |
| Modwright SWL 9.0SE Pre ... your thoughts welcome My current system is a Sony 999ES CD/SACD player; NAD S100 pre; NAD S200 amp; and Gallo Ref3 speakers with Gallo SA on 2nd coil. Also using a REL Storm sub. Fantastic bass! However, with some material this system sounds a bit harsh and fatiguing. ... | |
| Gallo Ref3 Subwoofer Amplifier Audiot:I can't see how the second voice coil would require breaking in since the same driver is powered by the primary coil. But I must admit, the system sounds a lot better after playing it for a while. Maybe the SA amp needs to break in. I notic... | |

| Gallo Ref3 Subwoofer Amplifier I didn't try that but I doubt it would make much difference with the REL. The REL imposes a super high-impedance load on the high level input. The driving amp basically functions as a voltage source. It has its own low pass filter. It would be int... | |
| Tube Buffer I put the tube buffer in the tape loop of my preamp so I can implement or defeat it with any source component by switching on or off the tape monitor. Sure is convenient. But is this equivalent to putting it in front of an individual source compon... | |
| Gallo Reference3 back orders I heard that Gallo had quality control problems at the end of last year. They had to reject many speakers because of defects in the metal spine. This, plus the unexpected popularity, caused the back orders. I called Gallo recently and they are sti... |
