gallo strada 3.5 gets rave reviews... i'm interested

i'm familiar with gallo from their original tweeterless orbs that used to get rave reviews but dismissed them as gimicky and likely to be lacking in HF resolution without tweeters. the new strada 2 minis and 3.5 full ways seem to be resolution champs with comparisons to electrostatics. i just wish their were more reviews. 6moons reviews annoy me as they can't be bothered to talk about sound or draw conclusions in a single group of paragraphs forcing you to read a bunch of uninteresting crap to have to glean details about sound in little snippets, but skimming their review they seemed impressed and this review at hometheaterhifi seems very favorable

as there really aren't too many reviews to compare though, i'd have to find a shop where i can listen for myself, but it's possible that i might get a pair of strada 2s when i start rebuilding my system if they live up to the hype. after getting burned by mission and energy cabinet resonances in favorably reviewed speakers though, i only take reviews as a starting point.

thanks again for the heads up
If it's ported, it's distorted.
