Anthony Gallo Acoustics Due vs Totem DreamCatcher

Hello everyone:

I was wondering has anyone compared the Anthony Gallo Acoustics Due to the Totem DreamCatcher speakers? Which one is supposed to be better sonically and has full reproduction. Also, I plan to get the regular DreamCatcher for the center and not the center channel version as I only have 17" and not the 21" it requires. Several dealers who carry both Gallo and Totem recommend the DreamCatcher over the Due when the Totem is 1/3 the price but they said there is no midrange/midbass in the Due. I thought the Nucleus Micro's might not have a midrange as it's a single driver but these have two of the drivers and then the tweeter. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I had Due's and sold them. They are good, but IMO, not great, and they are quite bright. That may or may not be your taste, but I ended up being much more happy with comparably priced (ok, a little more expensive) speakers from Linn.

The Due's were fed with some very nice gear, so it wasn't the front end.

I haven't heard the Totems.

Bottom line -- the Gallo speakers are certainly pretty and have their qualities, but you are paying extra for the fancy set up.

For less money, I'd look for a used pair of Soliloquy Sat 5's. They are a real killer for the size and price.
