I have read it also and I too wasn't clear if he prefered one over the other, not that this was his purpose. I certainly don't see where he was "damming them with faint praise", quite the contrary; it was clear to me that he thought very highly of them, while still pointing to some areas he prefered on the Gallos.
Gallo Acoustics Reference III vs. Hyperion HPS-938
Has anyone had a chance to compare these two? A friend of mine is looking at new floorstanders and these are my recommendations because they seem to be comparable in the following areas:
-New technology that works
-Reasonable prices: Gallo's are $3,600 with BAM, Hyperion's are $4,000
-Relatively full range, especially the Gallo's with BAM producing low 22Hz-25Hz
-Relatively compact in size
-Relatively easy to drive
-Good to great workmanship
In the case of the Gallo's, there will be a matching center released in 2005 in case my friend decides to go 3.0 to 5.1 Multi-Channel in the future.
What are your thoughts? Thanks.
