best amp to drive Gallo 3.1's?


Any thoughts would be welcome -- The Valve Audio Exclaime 100 just won't do it....

I'm driving mine with 12wpc SET monoblocks (845 output tubes) with never a hint of strain. Humongous transformers, though. I have the Gallo subwoofer amp to drive the woofers' second voice coils, so there's no shortage of bass. The Gallos obviously have a very benign impedance curve (8 ohms nominal). This is in an 18 x 40' room, BTW. Dave
Dave Pogue's setup sounds truly marvelous, it's amazing what those little amps (with the BIG transformers) can do.

I'm driving my Gallos with an H/K Signature 2.1 amp. The Gallos really like to see a LOT of current. The H/K fits that bill nicely with +- 100 amps. It's also driving my Gallo Due (thanks Dave!) center channel as well as my Gallo Ref AVs in the rear...

Look for amps with manly, beefy transformers and buckets of current.
