I have to disagree with you jdm61.
The reviewers referring to the SA as a possible weak point are those that did not get a chance to hear it. Those that heard it (especially those that got pre-launch units and had a good few months to spend with it) say it is one of it's major highpoints in fact. Those that did not get their hands on one can only assume. Thus far all the reviews by those who got the pre-production SA had nothing but good words to say about it.
Furthermore you cannot say "what kind of 240 watt ss amp plus crossover could you get for $900 new". Think of how many of the reviewers have said "what kind of full range speaker could you get for $2500 new?" And go on to say that the type of sound, build quality, imaging and soundstaging etc. you get from the Gallo's is possibly worth double if not triple their asking price. It is very possible that the SA features the same value-for-money.
