I'd go for the Gallo's. The 802's are no longer supported. The driver's are $300 if you blow one(Repair not replacement and are 16 ohms which are'nt made anymore). You'll need the Northcreek Xovers and Soundanchor stands to get the best performance.
'New' Gallo Reference vs. 'old' B&W Matrix 802
Hi Everybody,
I happened to audition a pair of old B&W Matrix 802 Series 3 and I was truly impressed. I always wanted to have Gallo speakers and I read a lot of good things about the Gallo Reference III. Unfortunately the local dealer does not have on here to demo. The price of the new Gallo and this old B&W are about the same (2500$). So, I ask you guys if somebody out there can help me in my decision.
Thanks in advance
