He actually has those? I'd love to hear them. I've only heard the Reference 3s by Gallo, but the little bit of time I spent with them impressed me. It was before I got my Axioms, though, so I don't really know what my thoughts would be now.

Tom, do you know if it was the Nucleus Micro or the A'Diva series you heard? I'm surprised they were so unimpressive. I was thinking of picking up a couple of the Orb speakers and a cheap amp for my mom. I assume Orb and the smaller Gallos would sound similar since the person who made the Orbs is someone who left Gallo, I think.
