Any Anthony Gallo Strada Owners?


The Strada is Gallo's new bookshelf replacement for the old Due. It is supposedly the top end (minus the woofer) of the new 3.5 which replaces the 3.1.

Looking forward to hearing impressions.

Replaced my Von Schweikert VR-4jr with a pair of Stradas and never looked back. (A TR-2 sub fills in the bottom end). I absolutely LOVE the electrostatic-like character of these Stradas. These are speakers that deserve the very best electronics you can afford - I am definitely short-changing them by using the Peachtree Decco as a dac/pre (amp is the W4S ST-500 - another terrific piece ) but I am going to audition the new Bel Canto 2.5 dac/pre in my system - that should hopefully provide the kind of front-end the Stradas deserve.
Definitely need a sub, especially without boundary reinforcement. Don't take that to mean that they sound like little monitors, however: they are capable of throwing a simply enormous sound stage as long as it is present in the recording. They also play loud very effortlessly (of course driving them with a 250 wpc amp with 35 amps of current helps) :)
