"BEST COMPACT SOLUTION: Anthony Gallo Acoustics Reference Strada System ($6964)"
Reference Strada System
Editor's Choice by AVGuide.com
"At a price nearing $7000 the Reference Strada system is certainly not cheap, but it is worth every red cent of its asking price as it can, quite seriously, stand tall in comparison to systems twice its price. Very enthusiastically recommended."

"The perhaps ultimate on-wall and desk-top speaker. Think of it as a low-efficiency single-driver widebander without shoutiness and higher resolution but equivalent coherence and speed."

"...when I came across Gallo's newest speaker, the Reference Strada, I was getting psyched just thinking about its potential in a professional environment. No, these weren't intended for a studio, but neither were the A'Diva Ti's and they work brilliantly for me."

"They are truly excellent loudspeakers, and clearly better than my Reference 3.1s, clearly making them an excellent bargain at their $3400 system price."
Reference 3.5 Loudspeaker
Reviewed by HomeTheaterHiFi.com
"The Gallo Reference 3.5 is most definitely a step up from the Reference 3.1 and the Strada/TR3 combo I recently tested. It’s clearly better in every way than the 3.1, and improves significantly on the Strada, which was already better than the 3.1, except perhaps in the bass. Is it worth the extra dough as compared to the Strada? Is it worth upgrading an existing pair of 3.1s? For me, the answer to that is yes. I will be replacing my 3.1s with the new 3.5s. They’re worth every dime, in my opinion."

"The Reference 3.5 is a sure-footed, disciplined, and musically involving speaker that executed virtually all that I asked of it. Minor quibbles aside, the Ref 3.5 deserves an unhesitatingly high recommendation. And if deep, carefully, crafted soundscapes really stir your imagination, then experiencing the Gallo is an absolute must."

"Sonically, the Reference 3.5 has the ease and poise of a much larger and more expensive speaker. At $6,000 the Reference 3.5 is the most affordable speaker on this list and offers more than a glimpse of state-of-the-art audio."

"Compact, materially dense, geometrically complex, built with quality and exclusive componentsÑthe tweeter is utterly unique - the return of the Gallo Reference 3 in now point 5 iteration is another triumph of very clever engineering."
Reference Strada Loudspeaker
Reviewed by Residential Systems
"I've compared them to the two most highly regarded and expensive monitor speakers in high-end audio, respectively $15,000 and $30,000 a pair. The Stradas, floor-mounted on our custom ultra-rigid stands, simply outperformed both of them in every respect that matters, whether for music or soundtracks."
