Gallo Reference III midrange COOKED


They were purchased new from a dealer in 2007. I'm using an all PS Audio system (except for a Denon multi-player for a transport). I Was using a p300 power plant till about a month ago I purchased a Power Plant Premier here at Audiogon. Two weeks later the midrange drivers in both speakers are gone. They have since been to the factory for repair and returned. Repair wasn't covered by warranty. They said if the speaker was defective it would have already blown during the first three months.

My system:

Trio P200 pre amp

Digital Link III D/A converter (with Cullen Circuits level 3 mod)

GCA 250 Power amp

Power Plant Premier

The speakers are rated a 350 watts; but my PS Audio 250 watt amp cooked the midrange drivers in both speakers. Go figure...

Just wondering if anyone else out there may have had the same or similar problem?

Dump them. I really do not like to give drastic opinions, but ANY "high end" manufacturer who does not make you feel satisfied with how they support their products, should be put out of business regardless of how "good" their product is. It disgusts me really.
Perhaps I read more into it than what was meant. STILL, that is a blanket statement for any situation where it applies.
