Anybody ever hear of this brand? Looks like a computer desktop speaker with the price tag of a floorstander. No afil.

    This is a bad **** speaker maker. The Reference 3.1 is sick. Look for the 3.5 later in 2010.

    Thats a crappy price you could get brand new better ones from http://bestofaudio.com/index.php?manufacturers_id=25&page=1

    These are way better than round sound crap . These gallo brands are probably the best HT speakers for the money because of the very large surface area of the tweeters . If you buy the stainless steel versions they sound better

    There has been pro reviewers who bought the demo samples of the 3.1 mini towers because of the transparency they offer in moderate size environments such as a HT room

    The brand is Anthony Gallo, they are well known for there Reference series floorstanders. The older ones are large spheres with their very unique very wide dispersal tweeter. Many users, including myself, on CP have the 3/3.1s, their current floorstanders. They also sell the Dues and there smaller spherical speakers, both of which are quite solid.

    As for the Strada it is their newest model, replacing the Due and I believe their Reference surrounds and center. It is basically the top half of their new Reference 3.5 floorstanders which are set to retail for $6k... a nice jump up from the $3k retail of the 3.1s.

    Initial reports are VERY positive, with initial reviews comparing them favorably to the 3.1s.
