What don't you like about these speakers?

I am in Omaha and I am curious where you are located that makes KC the choice to go to for gear?

The Gallos will require 175w/ch plus to get them off the ground.Many have found the SA crossover/amp to mate poorly with some high quality amps.I am intimately familiar with the virtues of the CDT tweeter,but please realize that a 300 degree tweeter will throw sound into ALL parts of the room.The reflectivity of your room may affect the tonal balance.Happy listening, and remember to take a break and let what you've been listening to settle on you.

Tpsonic-always good advise to just listen and enjoy. The problem with auditioning speakers in a store is that it's not your room, there is a breakin period and the mind gets confused comparing speakers, but it still is a blast to listen to great music reproduced by great equipment!
Entrope- my home is an hour west of St. Louis. I bought my VR-1s from Primus and liked the experience. I have been around St. Louis long enough to watch retail audio stores go by the wayside-some fine ones too. A sad consequence of mega electornic stores and the WalMart phenomenon of buying cheap stuff, even if it breaks in 6 months. St. Louis still has a few stores left, and I like to visit them. I fear one day they may not be there either. I have been guilty of some mail order purchases, but only a few. The majority has been from local shops. Thanks for the responses so far. I look forward to hearing more about these speakers.

I respectfully disagree with Tpsonic... the Gallos are quite happy with Maccormack DNA 0.5's with much less power. TP is right on with the reflectivity of the room affecting tone & setup up "challenges" with the SA.

Entrope...

Where do you shop for gear in Omaha? I'm always looking to audition while I'm back visiting. Also, other than the shops in the Old Market, any suggestions for software (vinyl)?
