gallo reference 3.0 positioning?

http://www.10audio.com/gallo_ref3-1.htm

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.

One of the main points of the Mapleshade stands is that they give you MORE tilt than the stock set-up. I found this to be very desirable, but obviously you don't. FWIW, I have mine toed in slightly but not pointing directly at me.

I think the original poster is talking a bout tilting them downwards instead of upwards... Please correct me if I'm wrong
