Driving Gallo Reference 5LS

Nice -- sounds like this is a good but (relatively) inexpensive setup.  I have an older MF CD player and I'm going about to order either an Exasound e32 or Yggdrasil DAC.  I hadn't thought of something like the Fraya and it seems like a really good idea.

Spending big dollars isn't always the path to get awesome sound.
I've decommissioned all my dacs and have gone to a Coctail Audio X-45 which you could use as a preamp ( I don't because the the Fraya is 3 pre amps in one.  Passive and two tube) 
The X-45 would give you a Dac... Streamer... Cd Ripper... Radio... Disc Spinner and more. You should check it it out. 

Ahhh . . . too many DACS!   I have tried a Qutest and Exagal DACs in my system.  I've also considered Mytek Brooklyn, Moon 290D (I think that's the nomenclature) and, as I said, a Yggdrasil.  I decided to try the e32 next.  Gets quite good reviews and they give you 30 days to work with it.  I think I'll try a Fraya also.  I think Schitt at least gives you 15 days (though they charge you 5%). 

Hi dgh25
Would you have the owners manual for the gallo 5ls.
If you do can I have a copy?
Tony.

Hi Tony,  
I spoke with a very nice, helpful individual at Gallo (now evidently based in the UK) about this and he explained a user manual was never developed.  Apparently the idea was that the dealer would work with the purchaser to custom set-up the speakers at the purchaser site.  This would be a reasonable expectation of the dealer because relatively few 5ls models were made.
