Introduction
In 2007, I reviewed the Gallo Reference 3.1 speakers along with Gallo's Reference AV center, A'Diva rears and the Reference SA subwoofer amplifier. I liked them so much I bought the entire system. Recently, Gallo has released the new Reference 3.5 speaker, replacing the venerable Reference 3.1. The new speaker looks outwardly very similar, but the MSRP has doubled. Anthony Gallo Acoustics promises that even of the speakers look similar, they deliver a significant jump in performance over the previous generation. In this review, I try to determine if the improvement in performance is worth the significant additional cost.
