| Challenging Critera - kids, space, $3500 budget A set of used Gallo 3.1 Refs will run you under $2k, so you'll have $1.5k left for electronics. They'll do a good job filling your space with good sound, and if you leave the covers on them, they'll be protected from your 2 year old. Since your ba... | |
| Any Anthony Gallo Strada Owners? The Due is no comparison, the Strada is far far superior. I've heard them side by side. | |
| New Gallo 3.5's From what I understand, there are a few more things that Anthony is working on regarding the bases, but it should be soon. I'm psyched to hear the final version. | |

| NHT Returns to a New Marketplace? Has2be,In your response, you mention shipping as a negative aspect of the direct model. Fact is, the product needs to be shipped to your dealer, and there really isn't any difference in how the packages are handled, whether they're shipped to you ... | |

| Speaker Recommendations for Soundstage and Imaging On the used market, the Gallo Reference 3.1 are available in your price range, and the 3.0 are even less. IMHO I think they fit all your criteria. | |

| anthony gallo av reference vs usher be 718 Are you looking to buy new or used? Gallo is replacing the AV-Reference with the Strata, and the Strata is a superior speaker. I have no personal experience with the Ushers so can't comment to how they'd compare. | |
