Looking to upgrade Gallo Strada?

Hello all,

I am looking to upgrade my Gallo Stradas which are currently on matching stands. So far, I like the B&W 805S and the Sonus Faber Toy Towers as they seem to have garnered quite a bit of praise. My room dictates that I use small monitors or small floorstanders. Please fill me in on some good speaker choices that will perform significantly better than the Stratas as I do not want to make a lateral move.

My room is 11' wide by 12', but opens into the dining rm/kitchen so it's like a long rectangle. I have all digital sources including a Mac Mini server into a Peachtree iDac into a Classe Cap-2100 integrated. Speaker cable is all Audioquest.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

John - Thanks for the recommendation, I've read many good things about the 3.5.

Audiocircle - The KEF R300 looks very nice, have you done a comparison between the stradas and them?

Has anyone compared B&W 805S to the Gallo Strada?

Thanks.

The stradas sounded much better when I added my Velodyne Optimum-8, as I was presented with a much more balanced sound...even the midrange and highs got noticably sweeter. I figured the 3.5s were out of my price range of $2,000-$2,500.

John - I appreciate the help immensely. So, I should probably wait till I have a working budget of $3,000 used?
