When I bought the Gallo 3 series, I multiply auditioned the Strada 1s, and while I found them good with the Gallo sub, I had a clear preference for the 3s.
Interesting sidenote: I've bought most of my speakers without hearing them, but the Gallo's were an exception, and I got to closely listen to both the Stradas and the 3s several times. I've enjoyed almost all of my speakers, but the Gallo's lasted about a week, despite my loving the auditions. As I said, I suspect power issues, despite the Gallos being rated down to 30w.
With the right amp, I could se an old pair of 3s being a steal, though I'd not want to find service on that CDT3.
