NuForce Reference 8 vs. 9

Hi,

Two questions:

1) How might the two compare driving the Gallo Ref 3.1 (sensitivity 88 dB). Would the 8s be too small to get the base (my room is 17x10x11)

2) What are people using for pres for the NuForce?

thanks,
bob

"One thing to take into account is that you can't use a Nuforce amp together with the Gallo sub amp on the second voice coil."

This would be according to....?

I am not wanting to catch anyone on a technical point, or to argue ...

And, I still don't feel settled about this issue.

The Gallo bass driver has a second voice coil. Your note to Jason at Nuforce does not make this distinction clear to me.

Though I find the possibility of incompatability plausable, I remain curious if any of you have experienced issues? Based on the positive feedback I have been reading here about the broken-in Gallo systems with sub amps, I had been hoping, at some point when I am feeling more flush, to add the Gallo amp to my NuForce setup.

I could imagine that there could be a conflict with the high damping factor of the amp being modulated by back electro-motive force (back EMF) from the sub amp. Could this be the issue?

Perhaps a word straight from NuForce would be helpful.
