New Gallo 3.5's

Okay, I should have looked at that old thread, but i'm still a little unclear. We put my friend's left speaker (the one without the Mapleshade base) in exactly the same location where my own left speaker originally sat. We were both then struck by the fact that his speaker appeared to be missing, relative to the way they were both projecting sound. My speaker (with the Mapleshade base) simply appeared to be substantially fuller-bodied than his. We didn't do detailed tests beyond this. The difference was so obvious that he ordered the bases for himself that same afternoon.

If you want a detailed explanation of the price hike have a read of the 6moons article. It's a sobering read.

I wrote a short review on the 3.5's and posted in the speaker reviews if anyone is interested.
