New Gallo 3.5's

Thanks RL!

And you're not alone ;~)

Yeah, thanks RW. ~$100 for out-rigger 3.1 supports is a reasonable price. Did you notice an improvement in the sound after installing them? Placing mine on stone blocks made a noticeable difference in image height, but only a slight difference in bass. But then, the bass is pretty darn tight and articulate to begin with.

Your thoughts please, Mr.RW

Barry_e_cohen:Yes,the Reference 2.I own a modified pair(systempost).The tweeter needs to be moved forward to allow phase alignment.Probably the only flaw in the original,other then the expense of the aluminum spheres and the fact that Gallo didn't support the CDT tweeter.No way to replace damaged units,other than to buy another set of speakers.Hopefully they will support the new CDT for a longer period.If not,the threes will begin stacking up on the side-lines:(

Wow,$6000.00! What is he smoking? I use a custom made stand from Sound Anchor for my 3.1's. They give them an 8" lift and weigh 50 lbs. That gives me the height and bass improvement for $2500 less. I cannot see the Outriggers being more stable than my stands. Hell, the Mapleshade stands are a far better bargain. As far as the other improvements, I never had a problem with the current woofer, and how much better can the new sphere sound? It seems like the drivers are the same, only the shape and angle have changed.

I cannot see these moving. The Outriggers look cheap to me also, and there are plenty of pre-owned 3.1's selling much less than retail.

Not to pick nits, but isn't it more like $200 since you need to buy 2 sets of out-riggers at $100 each?

I've contacted Scott Stein about a custom base of my own design, and I think the price will be in the same ball-park, maybe a little more if I decide to add custom spikes. My design is different than what is currently pictured on Scott's site.
