News about Gallo Acoustics
I got into Gallo Acoustics with their round micro speakers, which were and are pricey but amazingly good. Not just “for the size,” but just plain good.
Back in 2003 the Gallo Acoustics Reference 3 tower was introduced and was the best speaker ever for $2500 a pair. I loved them then and I still do, but as the price went up to $3295 for the Reference 3.5 there was a lot of disappointment, though they were still a bargain at that price. After the 3.5 went away there was no replacement. In fact Gallo hasn’t had a Reference tower speaker for a while. I kept calling their national sales manager for updates for what seems like seems like years (actually it was years) for news about a new Reference tower.
The new speaker kept getting kicked down the road, and now I have some doubts whether it will ever happen. Gallo Acoustics has a new owner. It is NWX Group, their long-term European distributor. The new owners have extensive experience in high-end audio distribution and manufacturing. Their REVO digital audio brand (revo.co.uk) is sold around the world and is the recipient of multiple product design awards and What Hi-Fi? magazine Product of the Year awards. They say, “We anticipate that production of all AGA product lines will recommence shortly.”
Maybe the new owners will be able to shed light on future prospects as they get around to contacting Gallo dealers.
