Gallo vs. Quads ESL 57


Hello, I own a pair of ESL 57, together with a Gradient woofer (the SW63, which was made for the ESL63). I drive them with a Shindo Monbrison and EAR 890. I am satisfied with the system but I was wondering how you think my Quads would compare against the Gallo 3.1, which many people seem to love. Thanks. Giovanni

PS: I have a friend who literally put $100k in components behind the Gallo 3.1. The soundstage was impressive, the details revealing, but I just like the warmth of the English sound over Gallo. 2 hours listening to his rig brought on fatique. One of the reasons I am really up on nearfield monitors is they are designed with long listening periods. I think your EAR/Shindo combo will really shine with the Harbeths. They really have some of the better attributes in the musical experience, like bloom, decay and seemless cadence.
Gallo's ..

Sorry, avg at best IMO, I would work with the quads, a PK modded ESL57 should walk all over the gallo's ..

regards,
Two different speakers here.Quads need space and right equipment to make it shine but the Gallos are great for small forgiving rooms.You cant say Gallos are crap when 6 respected magazines love them.
I didn't say crap, i said avg !!!

An ESL 57 beater they are not and why would you say a 57 need's a big room, this has not been my experience.

Regards,
