I agree with the JBL recommendations. Magnepan isn't a good rock speaker really. I don't know the Gallos but generally speaking, you want a large woofer that isn't crossed over too low. I'd guess those Gallos are crossing over to the woofer at a pretty low frequency so there are small drivers handling the upper and mid bass. I've never found that configuration very satisfying with rock. The JBLs have big 12 inch woofers that are most likely playing up to a few hundred hz. That makes for a punchy, powerful sound that is a lot of fun. In my opinion you need at least an 8" woofer to get satisfying punch and 10 or 12 is better.

Hello friends
I live in a modern unit!! of medium size!!
I/m running a pair of Zu soul's, on some recordings, sound great, other's could be better!!, I'm looking at the below, my amps are "audio labs" mono blocks!! approx 250 WPC
I'm looking for a speaker that "rocks"!!
I have a short list of speakers, that according from web sites, are a good match
1. Magnepan 1.7
2. Magnepan 1.7.i
3. Gallo Acoustics 3.5
These are some speakers, that am willing to consider
anymore more speakers, that you can recon-end??

Look no further than Dynaudio my friend!! These speakers love to be turned up loudly and rock music is especially dynamic and with punch! Also incredible midrange (3" voice coils) and the best highs. They also like power (which you seem to have lots of :-) I would look at the Confidence C1’s or Special Forty’s, partnered with a great sub from JL Audio, would make for a awesome system indeed. Best tweeters (Esotar) and drivers with voice coils that are largest in industry. https://www.dynaudio.com/home-audio Matt |
Klipsch Fortes most older JBLs or if you want refinement and balls do what I did and buy these bad boys tough to find a better speaker for the money https://www.cnet.com/news/size-matters-the-mighty-goldenear-technology-triton-one-tower-speakers/ |
