plastic woofers, multiple drivers for one freq. range, overdamped room, class D amps, high relative humidity, your mood, i could go on....
also the one poster who raised his off the floor seemed to have good results with that, experiment with that too...cheers
Follow Ups:
The woofers in the Gallo Ref 3.5's are not plastic. They are ceramic coated aluminum. The midrange drivers are carbon fiber.
I have found carbon fiber drivers can sound somewhat dead and overdamped as well, but it depends on the overall implementation.
Multiway systems with lots of philosophies and materials can be hard to get sounding coherent.
Dynamics are sometimes gained at the expense of coherence, as well.
So it's always a balance.
I'm not amazed that the Gallos are not at their best with hip hop and rock, although again, room integration is totally key..you need to load the midbass right into the room, and the listening position has be right, etc. etc.
