Anthony Gallo Reference 3 without sub

Aloha,

I have had my pair about a week. They are open and transparent like no other speaker I have owned. I am still in break in mode, though.

Just something to think about--I bought mine used, and the Gallo company is being very tight about the warranty--no receipt/no warranty. You would think that the warranty would follow the product on something of this caliber, especially when I am going to drop a lot of money on their center and SA amp.

I have not powered the second voice coil, so I cannot comment on that.

I will say that I like these diminutive speakers better than the Mirage M3si I had before--and I loved my mirage.

If you are in the SOCAL area and can come by in the next couple days, you can listen to them--we are moving, so they will be packed up on Wednesday! Bummer.

Ahui ho,

I have to agree with Dopogue. I have been letting mine play for the eight hours a day that I am away from home. They are just getting better and better. When I heard them in the shop, I found them a bit "bright" too, but that is all gone now. I always had to cut the treble with my mirage M3si's, but not with these babies. I am running them with a panny digi-amp--great pairing to my ears. Clear, airy, transparent.

Aloha Jcruse,

I am currently using an xr25, but I am eagerly anticipating the release of the xr70. I was planning to keep the xr25 and using it "digitally chained" to the xr70 to drive the second voice coil of the Gallos. Alas, I have not quite figured out how to do this using the panny's amps.

It does seem silly to run a pair of $2600 speaks with a $200 reciever, but it sure sounds good. You can get these things modded, but then your price increases tremendously. I am tempted to go that route, though.

Have a great day.
