Gallo 3.1s

I have a pair of Gallo 3.1 speakers. They recommend for optimum performance on their lower end to us their amp. Would using a 3 channel amp like an Emotiva (200x3) using the center channel as the 2nd amp work?

You do need a crossover, but the Emo amp will power the 2nd voice coils quite well...And you want to run 200 watts to each speaker... -RW-

You need a stereo amp to drive the two low frequency drivers on each speaker. So the amp needs to be able to cut off the higher frequencies. The Emotiva wouldn't have this function.

I recently did some A-B testing beetween the 3.1 and a $5700 speaker that I bought along with a $6000 speaker that I bought, and the Gallo 3.1 was easily the best sounding of the three.
