They are wonderful especially with a well mastered hidef source. (They easily reveal every flaw in a poor recording.) Gallo knows what he's doing. And if they are like his other designs this new model should sound terrific and be reasonably priced too. I have a pair of Gallo’s Reference 3s.

I'll reserve judgment until I've heard them. The A'Divas to me sound quite nice at their price point / form factor. These I haven't heard; hence, aesthetic commentary ... modified 120-pounders can also be a good thing.

'Perfect vertical alignment' has so little to do with 'in phase'. More 'a veil has been lifted' marketing. There are many a good line array, and the physics and properties are reasonably well understood. Bollocks to this. Anyway, I like my big honking 120 pound highly modified horn speakers in the living room each with an 80 lb sub. They dominate. They sound freaking sweet and make babies cry even at low levels (which is all I usually listen to). These 'Gallo' speakers remind me of anal beads.
