Gallos ohms mirages or deuvels

Ohm over Gallo Reference on all three counts. Gallo imaging compared to Ohm with everything set up properly is probably the closest call. The Ohms are hard to beat in the transparency and sound stage departments.

Never heard deuvals so not sure. Planets design does not thrill me on paper.

The larger and more expensive Dueval horn loaded omni design (can't recall model) is intriguing from what I've read.

By changing the title of the thread this isn't going to change what members think is the better speaker.

Sure hope that you make a decision soon......

Gallos will be really difficult to suspend with bungee cord - not recommended! The ore boxy ohms are a better choice.

Pedrillo,

Found this below about Duevel Bella Luna.

Makes some interesting comparison with MBL specifically. Claims MBL use of multiple drivers in the same frequency range for omni dispersion can have some downside.

I do like the design (both appearance and sonic) of the Bella Luna and would love to hear these some day. The horn loaded omni design seems like a natural to help compensate for the inherent low sensitivity of omni designs in general compared to designs that produce most of their output more directionally.

A lot of people seem to like even the Planets. A very unique design there I must say as well for the price though not my particular cup of tea.

I'd be hard pressed to see how the Ohms could not come out as the best value and the most affordable solution (for residents of the US at least) in the end though.
