The original Gale speakers, from the late 1970s, were groundbreaking in terms of dynamics, focus, imaging and just superb definition. They pre-dated many other similar speakers and were instrumental in many, many copies.
I had two pairs and they were superb until the woofers needed new surrounds in the mind 1990s. Never quite the same after that.
When I bought my first pair in 1978 I could find nothing comparable for three times the price.
Always wondered what happened to the company. Probably too small. Someone else bought the name a few years ago, but I doubt there is any relationship to the great original speakers.
