    Reminds me of a Cranberries CD and an eyeball game they had on their website at one time. Spookey.

    Strange how far out into the listening area they sit. Obviously they either don't care particlarly about using nearby walls to reinforce their sound, or the owner has no idea how to set them up. It also prevents quite the trip hazard on those input cables. Wild looking stuff.

    Try it with your LSi 9 speakers you have now and see what you think, out in the room has some very nice positive effects
    Dodd - Battery Preamp
    Monarchy Audio SE100 Delux - mono power amps
    Sony DVP-NS999ES - SACD player
    ADS 1230 - Polk SDA 2B
    DIY Stereo Subwoofer towers w/(4) 12 drivers each
    Crown K1 - Subwoofer amp
    Outlaw ICBM - crossover
    Beringher BFD - sub eq

    Where is the remote? Where is the $%#$% remote!

    The same amount he does when idle. When the b+ is on, it's on.

    The tweeter is the bronze looking thing 3 balls up. In the later dual ball speaker it is on top, as well as the single ball center.

    Are those Avantgardes in the second picture up? Pretty wild.

    I think the current Gallo Ref 3.1s are much nicer looking then the older ones. Supposed to sound better and cost much less to.

    It's all relative as to how big the room is. A third the way into the room seems to work well, but then again my experiance with my own placement has been pretty limited (very small room).

    The ref 3.1's are pretty cool and would definately be worth a demo. The avantgardes, however, are a little pricy ;)

    Hey Schwarcw,
    I have been a stranger in a strange land. I think they call it california :)

    As to those tubes. I'm sure they have their own breaker box, and add another breaker box for the air conditioning unit to cool the room LOL
