The Reference 3.1’s all-new metallized polypropylene capacitors offer greater dynamics and lower current.

Among the many special features that make our Reference 3.1 stereo speakers so unique is an upgraded version of our patented CDT™ tweeter, the CDT II™, as well as a hollow-cast, aluminum chassis filled with Gallo’s patented S2 technology air-density treatment. The CDT II™ and the S2 Technology are two crucial proprietary elements that meld to form an award-winning combination of stereo clarity, precision and range not found anywhere near this price point for a speaker system.

The Reference 3.1's CDTII™ tweeter is so transparent, fast and dynamic that it offers 300° horizontal dispersion, making the Reference 3.1 a versatile, powerful option for just about any room in the house. Meanwhile, the patented S2 technology actually de-couples the backwave of the driver from the air inside the enclosure. The benefits of S2 in home stereo speakers include superior low-frequency extension, improved transient response and a substantial increase in efficiency.

Our Reference 3.1 stereo speakers are uniquely equipped to demonstrate the advantages of the leading high-resolution formats: DVD audio and SACD. Very few high-end home stereo speakers, including the majority of models costing $10,000 or more, can approach, much less equal, the Reference 3.1 speaker system's extended high-frequency response, and even fewer offer \ its near omni-directional dispersion. For the ultimate in neutrality and transparency, the Reference 3.1 operates without a crossover across most of its bandwidth - from 125Hz to 35kHz.

An in-depth three-year development process was required to complete the design of these revolutionary home stereo speakers, with much of this time being invested in critical listening tests conducted by Anthony Gallo and his team of critical beta testers. True to its roots, this innovative new reference speaker system builds on the design philosophies of our original — now legendary — reference products: the Nucleus Solo and the Nucleus Reference.

The high-powered Reference 3.1 speaker is designed with style for audiophiles seeking maximum performance from their home theater speakers.

Combine Your Reference 3.1 Stereo Speakers with our Reference 3 S.A. Subwoofer Amplifier for the Ultimate
Stereo or Home Theater System

Reference 3.1 speakers are equally comfortable in either stereo or home theater configurations. The Reference 3 S.A. (subwoofer amplifier) is our 2 x 240 watt stereo amplifier which incorporates an active crossover/bass EQ option to extend the Nucleus Reference 3.1's bass response to a room-shaking 22Hz by driving the woofers' second voice coil directly. The combination of the Reference 3.1 stereo speaker and the S.A. subwoofer amplifier takes this home stereo system's unparalleled sound yet another step further, maximizing full-range performance with true stereo subwoofer bass extension from a small, unobtrusive package.

Gold-plated, all-metal binding posts ensure secure speaker wire connections, and the full-height removable grille cage with welded steel support members lends a more traditional appearance. In addition, each of your Reference 3.1 speakers undergo extensive computer quality control testing.

Our Reference 3.1 stereo speakers have single-handedly redefined the price-performance ratio for high-end systems. To join the revolution and bring the unparalleled sound of the Reference 3.1 to your home, visit our dealer page to find a Gallo dealer near you.
