gallo reference 3.0 positioning?

The biggest improvement you can do is raise them up.try
Brightstaraudio.com they make stands special for the Gallo speakers...Big improvement....on getting that tweeter to listening position...
Also since you have the 3.0 versions,when I listened to them I felt that there was some resonace from the Midrange.
Try putting some black electrical tape around the sphere on each one towards the front...See what you think??I liked it when I did it..
If I remember correctly in the 3.1 models they addressed that problem..

I forgot to mention try this link..They did a review on the Gallos and had a nice upgrade using resistors across the SUB-IN binding Posts that was interesting....

I bought a pair of the pricy Mapleshade stands (4" maple platforms with "Megafeet" underneath) and they literally transformed my Gallo Ref 3s. More openness, clarity, dynamics, bass .... all the good stuff. "Course they cost nearly $700 which has to be a consideration.

I found that mine sounded much better way out into the room. They are currently 8' from the back wall and at least 3' from the sides. Woofers out.

I have the luxury of a very large dedicated room, but if you can accommodate them, these are extraordinary speakers. Oh, and they love tubes. Good luck, Dave

thanks for the advice so far. i have simply noticed that there is more air and treble info if the tweeter is pointed more on axis with the listeners ear. in regards to the mapleshade stands, i can see them offering more stability, isolation, better bass, but it looks as though it aims the tweeters way above the listener's ear, defeating the difference i seem to be hearing pointing them at the listener's ear? on axis they definitely sound more open than before to my ears.
