Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Interesting speaker designs

The Anthony Gallo Ref 3s.
There was a local dealer that had these. If he still does in the next couple of weeks might go take a listen.

Two jokes here...

1) hey, does Axiom make wine? No, then that Gallo guy has to quit making speakers.

2) *picks up the speaker and shakes it* This is so unexpected, I'd like the thank the Academy, uh, my mom and dad, Hitler, my producer, my make-up artist...

Here they are in an owner's room. IMHO, one of the best looking rooms I've ever seen.

i just dont see how they can produce that good of a sound without any cabinets? although, i am in no way passing judgement.

i would go listen to them on curiosity factor only. i could never afford these speakers. plus, i know my wife would never allow me to have these in 'her' house.

chess,

The owner/designer of Ascend Acoustics (my speakers ) said that those Gallos were one of the best speakers he heard at 2004 CES.

This year, he said TAD (pro division of Pioneer now entering the consumer market) had the best bookshelves he has heard......$15K for the pair. I had a chance to hear them as well....incredible sound.

Who would spend 15K on bookshelf speakers?

Same people who spend $4500 for a media stand...

You need to hear the speakers. They put most floorstanders I have heard to shame.

They used to give one of their surround sets away as a first prize on "Beat The Geeks". Sort of looked like skewered tennis balls.

I preferred Tiffany.

I was a little surprised that these can be picked up at THe Good Guys....
