Thanks for the response. I posted this question elsewhere and they said the same as you...you gotta get a sub. I've got a great VMPS sub that is being driven by my McCormack DNA-1 amp (Rev. A) which is also driving my B&W 802s (circa 1981). The integration is really great. I love the fact that the Stradas w/ sub are not lean at all...I may be living w/ them for a couple of years or so. Probably get a used pair later this year..."ooohh honey dear wouldn't you love to have some new speakers for Mother's Day?" ;-]
2 questions concerning Gallo Stradas
Sorry if these questions have been debated to death...I didn't find a lot on my questions when I searched. So, how many of you Gallo Strada owners, or former owners, consider the Stradas to be bright and/or lean and what is the rest of your system? Second question is, if the Stradas are on the lean/ bright side and they are the same drivers as the 3.5, which is not described as either lean or bright, why would they sound any different than the 3.5s? Shouldn't they sound the same around 40 hz and up seeing as how neither speaker has crossovers?
