Gallo Ref 3.1 or PMC GB1/FR1

Since you have listened to both speakers, you should have a pretty good idea on which you would prefer more although both sounded great to your ears.

I have not heard Gallos before but I own PMC LB1 Signatures. If you liked the GB1's, you would find the FB1's to be an overall better speaker. The OB1 is the transition between the smaller floorstanders to the huge boxes which have better midrange units apart from bigger bass drivers.

Do let us know which speakers you ended up with. Both speakers are excellent in their own applications. I believe you cannot go wrong with either.

You could drive yourself nuts trying to compare listening experiences at two different dealerships, and with all the variables you're just as apt to make the wrong decision as the right one.

Since you obviously have access to dealers who carry both speakers I'd ask to borrow both of them for the weekend (most reputable dealers will do this). Once you have them both in your room with your equipment your decision will probably come easily, and most importantly you'll know you made the right choice with no second guessing.

Best of luck.

Go with the PMC FB1+, you will love them. I bought a pair back in June and they are everything that review says.
I also heard the Gallos at a friends house a few months before I got the PMCs, and I was not impresssed.

The FB1+ are just so smooth, clean, unfatiguing and a real pleasure to listen to.
Remember, if you do get them, burn in and toe in, very important.
