Gallo Nucleus Reference


Does anone out there own a pair of these wonderful speakers? I just bought a pair from a friend and I find them to be a truly amazing speaker. If anyone has suggestions on positioning please share them with me. I have been improving the sound through repositioning, but I am sure that I can get even more out of them. I now have them about 5 feet from the rear wall and about 6 feet from my listening position. They are spread about 7 feet apart. The unusual design of the speakers really does make them disappear into the music. I can't believe that speakers of this size can generate the amount of low bass that they do, and the CDT tweeter is as smooth as silk, even at high listening levels. What my wife likes most is that you can listen at low levels and not lose any detail of the music. Amazing!

I don't own a pair, but am jealous as they are truly visual works of art and must look super in your room. You might check what caps are used in your crossovers and try to reach Gary Gallo to see if he has any other recommendations based on your system. I know that he used to do this, anyway. Gallo also has a new budget speaker that is coming out later this or early next year. Read about it somewhere, but cannot remember the source. What is the rest of your system?
The rest of my system consists of: Audible Illusions preamp, Audio Research 100.2 power amp, Pioneer PD54 Stable Platter CD player, VPI mk4 TT with JMW Memorial tonearm and Glider cartridge, MIT and Bob Crump HSR cables.
I just picked up a pair of gallo ultimates and am way impressed. These are like the References bnut with 4 "bassballs" to a side. Would love to get an owners manual (pay $25 for a photocopy - dopogue@msn.com) and talk to another owner of these gems. Am working with Mapleshade head Pierre Sprey to get a new wiring harness for them. Wish I had seen this thread earlier.
