Hello FriendsYou a problem sick of my post's!!I have a pair of Zu Souls MK11, I like them, but wish, I have more bass slam, and a slight reduction in the treble, only just!! I live in a part of Aust, where there is no hi fi shopsFriends, I have been offered a pair of Gallo Reference 3.1's with a SA bass amp, at 2,000.00 Au, rare in AustI notice from my last post, that many people, had different views, thanksI own the Zu'sBut the Gallos, have come on the market, I'm very happy with all of my audio gear, except the speaker's, which will be powered by my Channel Islands mono blocks!!I wan't  your thoughts, should I stick with the ZU's, or should I go with the Gallo Reference 3.1's with SA Bass Amp??I just want options between the above, I have 48 hours, to make up my mind!!Many ThanksDavid

"I have a pair of Zu Souls MK11, I like them, but wish, I have more bass slam, and a slight reduction in the treble, only just!!"

This thought occurs to me:

You can think of the tonal balance of a speaker like a see-saw: If the top end is too much, you can add more bottom end (via subs) and get a really nice balance. But if you add subs to a speaker that is already nicely balanced, that can make it sound unbalanced, like it now needs more top end to regain balance.

So your Zu’s might be inviting you to add subs, which may accomplish two things at once: Give you more bass slam, AND balance the see-saw, so that you no longer need a slight reduction in the treble.

(I used to be a Gallo dealer and have enormous respect for Anthony Gallo's innovative designs, but the Zu's have a really enjoyable liveliness that I think you would miss, hence my suggestion for a way to keep what the Zu's do well and improve the areas where there is room for improvement.)
