I too am surprised Def Tech is being recommended. Since we don’t know much about the use or room for this selection, only mentioned musical preferences - not a lot to go on. DefTEch 9060 and Triton 3+ and 5 are designed to be home theater and music speakers. There may be less expensive solutions for music only.
With what was mentioned in the original question, and from my experience with Def Tech - choose Golden Ear every time. While the Triton 5’s are very good, Triton 3’s are the (obvious to me) best choice between the three. I have no experience with Gallo (although I’ve read good reviews).
I have Martin Logan electrostats, have listened to the Def Tech 9060’s (and lower models), and Golden Ear Triton 1 (and lower models). Triton 3+’s have built-in powered subs (for the bass you want), awesome dispersion, sweet midrange (with same 'phase plug' as DefTech) and smooth highs (due to AMT 'folded motion/foil' tweeters) that sound detailed and accurate without being harsh. Just like the Martin Logan’s stats, I can listen to Golden Ear all night long without fatigue. In my home theater system, using Triton 3+, and they are great at filling the room with all frequencies including built-in dual subs. By the way, the built-in powered subs can be run from speaker wire signal or LFE input.
Def Tech (all models including 9060) have bright, harsh, tweeters - same as B&W (to my ears) and I have B&W’s too (currently in my 2-channel music room along with the electrostats and Elac's I've been demo'ing). When I listen to those aluminum dome tweeters, can barely stand it - very fatiguing (as a side note, still like the B&W's over Elac Debut 2.0 F6.2). Some people like that surgical accuracy on the highs, others don’t. You probably know what you like. Listen to both if you can, and you’ll likely hear what I’m describing (especially if you can listen to them side-by-side or even within a day of each other).
If you have to make a rush decision between the models you mentioned, my advice is first choice Golden Ear Triton 3+, second choice is Triton 5.
