Anyone using Mapleshade bases for Gallo Ref 3's?


Hi everyone,

Mapleshade offers larger maple bases with brass footers to replace the skinny stock bases that come with the Gallo Reference 3's...

They claim: "More rock-solid bass, extra midrange warmth and detail, new treble clarity. And the extra tiltback corrects the Reference 3's time alignment and gives standing listeners much better treble and imaging."

I was just curious if anyone has experience using these bases with their Gallos? I would love to know if they are a worthwhile upgrade.

Thanks in advance!

Wow, they "correct" the Gallo's time alignment? I'm quite surprised that Anthony Gallo would spend all those years designing and developing his speakers and then allow them to get into the marketplace "un-aligned".

And, have you seen the prices for those stands? $700+, wow, that's a bit rich for my blood. If you simply want to tilt your Gallo Ref 3s back a bit, just take the rear spike cups and move them to the front, doubling up with the front ones - it doesn't cost you a dime...
