General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Great imaging speakers

Haven't heard Gallos or Quad speakers, I can't comment on them.
However, I assume that the Gallos have more upper Extension than the Quads, which helps with the imaging.
Your Transcendent amp should not be at fault. I have a T16 and it's probably the best 3D imaging amp I have heard.
I've been using some old ACI Sapphire III speakers, which will disappear sonically no matter where you place them. Their imaging is superb. However, when I lived in Spain with tiled floors and plastered walls and a big window front behind the speakers, I lost a lot of that imaging, thou the sound was a lot more live sounding.
Fast forward to now. I now also have a pair of Hornshoppe Horns with the Super Tweeter. With the Horns the Super Tweeter is crossed over at around 35 khz.
Well, I borrowed the Super Tweeter to used them with my ACI Sapphire III, which are already very great with imaging.
Using the Super Tweeter with them and crossing them over around 25 khz or so opened up a total new window in detail and sound staging.
There is so much more detail and the somewhat 2 D image has grown into a big 3D image.
All I can say: It's a fun hobby and you never stop learning (and buying)
