Ariaudio: You might give Walter at Underwood HiFi a call. He might well be able to work an attractive deal for you on the 3.5s.
A monimally informative comparison. I auditioned one of the B&W floorstanders with the new diamond tweeter. I'd have no trouble choosing the 3.5. The B&W was perhaps more neutral, but the draw dropping imaging and airiness of the Gallo's drew me in a lot more. My hunch is I'd have similar thoughts with the monitors (although I think the 3.5 beets the strada through the whole range, and not just the highs).
