Hi Srajan,
I am now looking at upgrading the Gallo Classic 3. I'm kind of all over the map so far. Looking up to $5'000 new or used. Mark Sossa suggested the QLN Signature. He thinks they would be an upgrade in every way. Other speakers on my list to try and hear are:
Ryan 620 or 630
Monitor Pl100II (would love 200 if used)
Spendor D7
Proac D30r
Opera (a couple of models)
Just wondering if you have any input on these or where else I should look to upgrade in most or all parameters on the cl3.
Thanks,
Todd
I might look at one of the later-gen Audio Physic Virgo on the used market.
Srajan
Thanks much. I hadn't considered Audio Physic but I've always liked the easy look. I'll try to get a listen. Do you think their current lineup is very good? Looks like they don't make the Virgo anymore.
Todd
They still make the Virgo. I reviewed it last year. It's very good. I bought the next model up, the Codex. That's become my reference speaker.
Srajan
Wow that's high praise indeed, knowing how many great speakers come through your place. I'll look at the Codex also.
Todd
Audio Physic would give you the spectacular soundstaging you're used to with the Gallos. And already the Virgo would have more bass extension. The Codex is still newer so getting one used could be tough and at retail, it'd eclipse your budget by 100%.
