In Reply to: Question for Gallo Ref 3 Owners posted by nickgva on December 20, 2009 at 20:06:15:
Gallo's tweeter has about 300 degrees dispersion, therefore toe-in is not required to get good treble response, it is only necessary to roughly adjust midrange response / directivity.
However, contrary to regular speakers, one adjusts the midrange/treble focus by tilting the speakers back and forth until one finds the sweet spot. That's why the speakers come with longer front spikes.
Around the TILT sweet spot, soundstage height seems correct and the midrange has snap / definition. Above or below the sweet spot, comb effect of two midrange drivers operating in tandem will create a 'ripply" midrange response which can be perceived as hollow midrange.
Also, you can experiment with both woofers facing in or facing out. Depending on the distance to the side walls, one sounds much better than the other.
I hope this helps
