Loving My New LV Auditoriums

[Ninanina]

I struggle to listen to most traditional box construction speakers these days, the box colorations are very obvious to my ears. My Anthony Gallos don't have traditional cabinets so no cabinet coloration. The LVs while they have a little, manage to transcend these and produce lovely music.

I'd never heard of Anthony Gallo speakers but looking at them they look fantastic Neil, completely different ... nice...

Those are the ones I own, both Reference 3.1 and the later 3.5. Sadly no longer made. I hear Gallo are working on something new re two channel floor standers, but I have no details.

They look yummy Neil

I wonder why they are no longer making them

[struth]

a bit open baffle in style. Certainly an eyecatching design, although not heard any I bet they are good.

Yeah they make my LV's look very 'ordinary'

Gallo initially made them in China but the amount of quality control issues became unsustainable so they decided to discontinue the 3.1s and work on improvements. The new speakers were made in America (Gallo are a US company) but sadly that cause a doubling in price. The 3.1 sold for £2400 (bargain) the 3.5s were £5500. They sold and were better but the price was an issue. Eventually they discontinued them because the Stratus came close but at much less money.

As you say the 3.1's were a bargain at £2,400 as a lot of work seems to have gone into them.... I can see why you now struggle to listen to traditional box construction speakers

However it's comforting to know you don't mind the LV's sound

The 3.1s were widely hailed as being a massive bargain re price to performance, the predecessor the 3 is also very good.

It's nice that I still love my LV's after owning so many speakers

I have some Rega RS3's that I must get round to re-trying to see how they stack up against the LV's.. I will try the RS3's soonish and report back my findings on their sound

After being away from my system for a little while I am still very happy with it's sound and the LV's are sounding very nice indeed

Those look really nice Bev, glad you are enjoying them. I always wanted to hear some of the LV speakers, but rather rare on this side of the pond. I am curious how your Oto would sound with them, as well as I would my Croft amps. Anyway, enjoy them and your music, well done!
