Anthony Gallo Acoustics Strada 2

(EDITED 10/10 - confirmed with Gallo that these were not pre-owned / refurbished - they were Gallo staff demo stock)     
Gallo staff demo pair of Anthony Gallo Acoustics Strada 2.  Sourced from Scotland, with less than 20 hours use.  Wall-mounts included. Stainless/black The short story is that my wife, though loving the sound, felt that the hyper-modern style did not match with our Southwestern style living room. 
Per email from Gallo when I inquired about the speakers' history: "Sorry - but we don't have a record of what was done to those speakers.  That means that they were in our own demo stock. That's great news in my opinion, because they would have only been used by Gallo staff wearing gloves etc, and would have seen very little use because we always want our staff's demo speakers to look 100% perfect."
 
These speakers sound incredibly clear in the midrange and treble - strings, acoustic instruments, female vocals are rendered in hauntingly realistic, almost holographic presence. Add a musical subwoofer (REL, Gallo, GR Research) to fill in the lower octaves and you have an amazing combo.  See my parallel auction for the well-matched TR-2 subwoofer.
These speakers are in as new condition, in the factory packaging. This is a great opportunity to get into the Gallo universe for less than retail.
