What don't you like about these speakers?

If you are driving that far, take your system with you. Make an appointment and make sure they are ok with your gear.
Also, discuss with them how many hours are on the speakers you are auditioning. Comparing a new pair to a broken in pair makes a world of difference.

if you are going to kc, primus audio is one of the best dealers in the country.........you owe it to yourself to visit.....this guy knows his stuff.

The Dynaudio Focus 220s are awesome speakers. I have not heard the other two speakers but know they have great reputations. I envy your listening session with these speakers. I strongly suggest you quiz the dealer about the breakin time the dyns have had. The focus line seems to take more breakin time than the audience or evidence lines. They really are constrained sounding until broken in properly. I compared the dyns with the b&w 703 and 704 and liked the dyns better. I run a Mc DNA 125 amp with a TAD-150 sig pre and arcam cd23. I have upgraded cables and cords some while I have had the Dyns and they seem to give a little more each time I do. They image well have superb mids and highs and the bass is clean and TIGHT. I would think you would want to have a good clean SS amp to drive them. Good listening and give us a report!

If you plan to purchase the Gallos & use them with the Dynaco 70, you should sharpen your pencil & see if you can fit the SA in the mix.

In terms of auditioning, I'd be ready to switch the Gallos Left for Right... in some roooms & setups, they sound very different with the woofers in versus woofers out... (I'd also get the Isorock GR stands). If the dealer has the SA hooked up, you might want to play... it took me a long time to dial in the right set up in my room)

I really appreciate the opinions so far. To answer several of the questions posed....I will take my Dynaudios with me to sit next to the speakers, I am going to Primus Audio and he strikes me on the phone as the perfect guy for me, and he has the right equipment, I currently have inexpensive Outlaw Audio monoblocks but am looking to change out to something else this year. Whichever speaker I choose, I will take with me to audition the amps. I'm not a tube guy, so I will shop for something SS. My Dyns (or my ears!)took 2-3 months to break in, so I assume the same for theses Dyns. To be truthful, I took my Dyns into a dealer in St. Louis and compared to the Focus, there was not a great deal of difference. Some on the high end, a little in the midrange, no difference in the low end. Maybe I'm so used to the ones I have....... I will have an entire day to listen to speakers while my wife does her shopping. It's not easy for me to spend $3000 and I want to make the right decision. Again, I appreciate the opinions so far. Is there anyone who just didn't like any of these speakers? It would be quite a statement if these speakers were so uniformily liked.
