I too owned the Dues and liked them very much. I only had them for a short time (in an apartment), drove them nicely with a Bryston B-60 integrated, and sold them because when I moved to my house there was no good place for them. They DEFINITELY require a subwoofer. Gallo says that they reach down to like 60 or 80 Hz but IMHO (and in the opinion of other dealers and owners to whom I've spoken) there is little useful info below about 100-120 Hz from the Dues. Otherwise, nice crisp nonfatiguing top end and super mids.
Anyone Own Gallo Due Speakers?
Several weeks ago I started looking for some smaller speakers for my bedroom system. Due to room size and the placement of furniture; I am pretty much limited to mounting the speakers on wall brackets.
I had posted a thread some weeks ago asking for suggestions; and listened to a few of the suggested models. But then I heard about the Gallo Due speakers; and had a listen at a local dealer. I have to admit for a smaller speaker, I enjoyed the sound - especially since I had them placed literally next to the back wall of the listening room. I also understand they are also quite efficient, not needing a higher-powered amp to drive them.
I would like to hear from anyone on Audiogon who has actually been using the Gallo Dues - rather than just giving them a listen. What do you like about them? Are they hard to break in? Would like to know - since they seem to be a good "solution" for my wall placement and yet provideing decent sound.
