New Gallo 3.5's

Tpsonic,

The 5s are still in the works, actually says they are "shipping now" on the web site...

Found another blurb with additional info on the 3.5s...

I can attest to the superior sound of the CDT tweeter.I'm a bit surprised that they haven't moved to a two-way with a multiple mid/woofer arrangement.Might improve the impedance question and bring up the efficeincy.

Neil Gader says they're "easier to drive", quoting 4-ohm 87db sensitivity. But the original Reference 3 and 3.1s (I have the Ref 3s) are 8-ohm, 88db sensitive, so what gives? Anyone know if the 3.5s have the same dual (woofer) voice coils as the originals?

Wow, $5800 clams per pair - almost double the price of the 3.1s. They would have to sound INCREDIBLY superior to make them worth that money. And I'm not too keen on the base/outriggers, they look cheesy IMHO. I already have outriggers on my 3.1s, paid $100 for 'em...
