Gallo Ref 3.1 vs PSB Synchrony One

I currently own the Synchrony but recently had a very brief listen to the Ref 3.1 at the RMAF. Can't get the sound out of my mind now and have set up an appointment to audition the Gallos next week.

Anybody have the chance to do a head-to-head? Would love to hear your impressions!

Relevant details: Front end is a PS Audio GCC 100 with a Marantz SACD player. Room is medium sized and typical music is Jazz, classic rock, female vocals.

Thanks!

I would largely agree. Mr. Gallo might remember that some of the final pre-production work on the Reference 3s was carried out using 10 wpc amps. It's the quality of the amps, not their wpc, that matters most. And I gotta say, these things LOVE tubes :-)

Both are good speakers, I think you will need more power to do the Gallos justice.

Two very good speakers, two very different designs, two very different sounds as I recall.

There's a lot to like with either...just a matter of taste and best fit to your listening environment I would think.
