I'm not affiliated with Walter except I've purchased two amps from him over the years. He's a great guy to deal with and I thought these Gallo speakers could be a great deal for someone:Save BIG on hi-value Gallo Classico speakers
I have bought the balance of the Gallo Classico CL-3 and CL-4 speakers. Gallo was selling their Classico line factory direct and lowered the prices of the entire line from what dealers were selling them at.
The Classico 4 was lowered $1000.00, from $3500.00, thru dealers to $2500.00 direct. I have them on sale for only $1499.00/pr + freight. Save $2,000.00 over the original retail price and $1000.00 from the factory direct price. The CL-4 is 92Db efficient, only 35” tall and goes down to 26Hz. It, like the CL-3, is designed to go very close to the rear wall. These are available in the Black Ash finish. Quantities are limited. Only 4 pair left to sell.
Available in black ash only
The Classico 3 was lowered $800.00, from $2400.00, thru dealers to $1595.00 direct. I have them on sale for only $999.00/pr + freight. Save $1,400.00 over the original retail price and $600.00 from the factory direct price. The CL-2 was just named to the 2015 Editors Choice list in The Absolute Sound. The CL-3 is only 31” tall, goes down to 32Hz and is 88Db efficient. It is designed to go very close to the rear walls. Women love this.
Available in black ash only
We also have excellent deals on the other Classico models including the matching center channel, monitors and 2 exceptional subwoofers. As an example, we have the $1700.00 CLS-12, the 1000 watt 12" subwoofer, for only $675.00 + freight
The Classico 4 competes quite well with the Gallo Reference 3.5 that has received superb reviews at its $6,000 retail price. It was Class A rated in Stereophile. That makes it quite amazing at only $2495.00 a pair, less than 1/2 that price. And an even better deal at only $1499.00 a pair.
Home Theater summed up their Classic 4 review with:
At $2495 a pair, they're a great bargain and should embarrass many more costly speakers just like their funky siblings."

BOTTOM LINE:
"We like the Gallo Classico CL-3 floorstander when we reviewed for The Absolute Sound as a stereo speaker, but we think it works out even better as the centerpiece of a complete Classic surround system. The beauty of this system is that it represents a “best of two worlds” solution, neatly combining many of the virtues of both planar and dynamic driver-type speaker systems. For the sound quality on offer, the Classico system turns out to be very well priced."

www.avguide.com/review/anthony-gallo-acoustics-classico-cl-3-51-channel-speaker-system-tpv-110The Classico 4 uses double the the Classico 3’s bass drivers in a larger enclosure. It plays louder and goes lower as well as handling more power. It also has a richer mid bass power band. It is also 4Db more efficient at 92Db versus 88Db on the Classico 3.
Both speakers use the unique Gallo CDT thin film tweeter. The CL-4 couples it to Four 5 1/4" damped carbon-fiber woofer/midrange's in a tapered, braced floor standing enclosure. The CL-3 uses 2 of the same 51/4’ drivers. Although still very compact at only 35" high, the CL-4 is capable of totally getting you lost in a musical experience. Bass is exceptional and goes down to 26Hz due to the Gallo BLAST loading and their patented S2 technology. The Classico 3 goes to 32Hz and is only 31 inches high. Both models are designed to go within 2 feet of the rear wall.
The solid braced and tapered MDF enclosures reduces unwanted enclosure coloration to a minimum and easily fits in with most any décor. The CL-3 and CL-4 produce a broad soundstage with depth and precise instrument placement. They are available in real black ash wood veneer. At 92Db efficient the CL-4 are an easy load and amps with 25 watts thru 350 watts will drive them well. CL-3 required a minimum of 30-40 watts to really open up.

The Classico 3, in black ash, has received 3 exceptional reviews and was a great speaker at its $2400.00 a pair original retail. Now at only $999.00 + freight they are an amazing value and the best sounding small column speaker that I am aware of.
6moons gave the Classico 3 their Blue Moon award.
