Anthony Gallo Nucleus Reference 3 // Preowned / Floorstanding Loudspeakers / With Reference 3 SA Amplifier
$3,299The Anthony Gallo Acoustics Nucleus Reference 3 is one of those rare loudspeakers that looks unlike anything else—and sounds just as extraordinary. Featuring Gallo's signature spherical enclosures, carbon fiber midrange drivers, and the acclaimed CDT II cylindrical diaphragm tweeter, the Reference 3 delivers a huge, holographic soundstage with stunning transparency and pinpoint imaging. Included with this pair is the Reference 3 SA amplifier, purpose-built to power and optimize the speakers' secondary bass voice coils, unlocking deeper, tighter low-frequency performance and allowing precise bass contour adjustments to suit your room. Equal parts conversation piece and audiophile favorite, the Reference 3 remains a bold, innovative design that continues to impress decades after its debut.
One of the coolest aspects of the Reference 3 is that it was essentially crossoverless through the midrange and treble. Instead of relying on complex crossover networks, Anthony Gallo engineered the drivers to naturally roll off into one another. Combined with the 300-degree CDT tweeter, this gave the speakers an expansive, almost holographic soundstage that helped make the Reference 3 one of the most celebrated loudspeaker designs of the 2000s.
