    a buddy of mine has the Nucleus Micro speakers with a Def Tech Super Cube. Not a bad sounding Sat speaker that is for sure. I am not sure that they are worth all the $$$$ but his house is super modern, and so the look fits right in. They do sound pretty good though.
    The Bitterness of poor quality last longer than the joy of low prices.

      I worked at the good guys in san francisco for a few years and started carrying gallo back in '02. they were very popular because they sound great and finally something that will steer people away from "bose" (better off something else). while the gallo's will give you lots of volume and wide sound dispersion, it does not do well with mids and lows, so if you get them, make sure you dont get the gallo sub. i think they sounded best with a 10 or 12 inch velodyne spl series sub. if you get the crossover just right and set the speakers to small in your receiver/controller, then they can sound very impressive. also for better ht performance, i recommend you get the "a'diva" or the "due loudspeaker" as a center.

          I have a pair that are biamped (separately powering the woofers' second voice coil) and are, IMO, a great value. Wide open soundstage, seamless driver integration, and dynamic. They can be perceived as just a little short in stage height (for obvious reasons per the picture below), and maybe a little on the warm side. But overall, pretty good.

          Q.

            Thanks for the pics. Look bigger on their site w/o a reference point. How does their tweeter compare to Martin Logans?

              Nothing compares to Logan other than the Genesis ribbon.

                More relaxed, but very detailed with wide dispersion. BTW, the speaker in the picture is a Magneplanar.

                Is that your subjective opinion? :W
