Reference 3, the designer speakers from Gallo UK for Home Cinema and Hi-fi

The Reference AV, like its fore-runner the Reference 3, looks and sounds like nothing that's gone that's been seen or heard before. Striking enough to complement even the most attractive of video display devices and capable of delivering an extraordinary surround sound experience, the Reference AV is simply one of a kind. Totally unique - just like its designer!

The genetics of the Reference AV can be traced back to the Reference 3, and the family resemblance can be heard as well as seen. The most obvious similarly is unique MTM array – the Mid-Treble-Mid arrangement which is comprised of a pair of four-inch drivers, separated by the remarkable CDTII tweeter.

The CDTII, with its textbook 300 degree dispersion pattern, gives the AV a wonderfully open sound which is spread widely throughout the room. The result is that everyone in the room experiences great sound – not just the person with the best seat!

The two other drivers which make up the MTM arrangement are 4" carbon fibre units that feature a very strong and highly efficient Neodymium magnet. The strength and quality of these drivers is such that no-crossover is required above 100Hz, where your ear is most sensitive. The outer two drivers are also 4" carbon fibre designs, and thanks to Anthony's patented S2 bass-enhancing technology, are cable of reaching down to 55Hz - remarkable for such a compact driver in such a small enclosure.

The Reference AV has been designed to fit in with your living space and installation flexibility was a key consideration in designing the speaker. Wall mounting the AV round your video display couldn't be easier, with all fixtures and fittings included as standard, whereas if you'd rather surface mount your speakers, an optional Suspension System available for surface mounting.

In multi-channel systems, the Reference AV is equally at home as either main left and right speakers or rear loudspeakers, where their textbook dispersion helps remove the ping-pong effect of directional rear speakers. The result is jaw-dropping movie realism and wonderful musical clarity that lets everyone in the room experience sound as it was meant to be
