New Gallo 3.5's

Wow,$6000.00! What is he smoking? I use a custom made stand from Sound Anchor for my 3.1's. They give them an 8" lift and weigh 50 lbs. That gives me the height and bass improvement for $2500 less. I cannot see the Outriggers being more stable than my stands. Hell, the Mapleshade stands are a far better bargain. As far as the other improvements, I never had a problem with the current woofer, and how much better can the new sphere sound? It seems like the drivers are the same, only the shape and angle have changed.

I cannot see these moving. The Outriggers look cheap to me also, and there are plenty of pre-owned 3.1's selling much less than retail.

"Who knows? I wasn't able to find any stands on the Sound Anchors website that were specifically for the Gallos. I *do* know that my speakers are quite stable now, much more so than stock. And I'm betting the Sound Anchor stands cost a *wee* bit more than what I paid."

I was referring to the "outriggers" on the new 3.5's, not your aftermarket ones. They seem like a good deal. The 3.5 ones look cheap to me and is a hard pill to swallow at double the price, regardless of the other changes. The Gallo stands are not on the SA site, but you can see mine on page 4 of the Gallo AVS thread. I think they were $500/pair, but since I bought my 3.1's used, they came free with the set.
