gallo 3.1 repair

Get them fixed by Gallo. FWIW - that driver is well known to be delicate - if you like to listen loud at realistic levels then it might be wise to fix it and get another speaker more suited to being driven hard...

Shadorne; My experience exactly, they just do not handle the dynamics of symphonic music well...wish I had known.
I will probably get them fixed and get some speakers that can handle it. Wondering about Odyssey Lorelei's, any thoughts?

There is already a thread going regarding speakers for classical music that you might want to check out. The interesting thing about classical recordings is the volume levels between discs can be huge, as much as 10-15 db. Just curious as to what happened on the Gallo's. There has to be more to the story then just dynamics.

I have not heard that the 3.1's have issues with classical music. I love my 3.1's and have not noticed any flaws in them.

That being said best bet is to always contact the vendor and see what they can do for you.

I am currently upgrading my old system, and am trying different integrated and pre/amp combos. Had the Gallo's hooked up to a Valve Audio Predator ( 200 WPC into 8 ohm ). I forgot to turn the volume down between CD and Phono, the protection circuitry in the Predator didn't kick in, and I couldn't get to it fast enough and fried mid seems to be the result. I had also had them on an Odyssey Stratos, and this seems a much better match, but I had to send the Stratos in due to some shipping damage when I bought it used, so I had hooked up the Predator to have music while I wait.
Now it will come down to which pre to use with the Stratos, I have an Odyssey candela and also an innersound, very different sounds so I need to really listen for a while and decide wich one I like better. I may also audition some different speakers, though I had listened to several before buying the Gallo's. I like them, but they have their issues...
