"Not since Bang & Olufsen landed on American shores in the late 1960's, or early 70's have we, in this country, seen anything look so amazing or sound so good. Simple, elegant yet artful in-and-of itself; made from metal, and sized to fit any room and any listening expectation; let me say right up front that this is the best micro surround speaker system I have heard - period."

"As a discreet 5.1 system, there are no products that can touch this in terms of performance or style - and it's a distinct improvement over the old version. You can get better sound for the money, but only with bigger, uglier boxes. So why not flaunt it?"

"The amazing Nucleus Micro filled a seemingly empty and untreated room with big, bold sounds."

>Kalman Rubinson

"The price/Performance Ratio Award had to go to Gallo. The Micro produced a far bigger and better sound than either their diminutive dimensions or price tag would suggest."

>Lonnie Brownell & Richard Rosen

"Gallo blew me away with their Micros...The sound from these speakers was amazingly big and dynamic offering some of the most realistic production I've heard at a show."

>Robert Reina

"Everything fell into place, so much so that Rick felt it offered one of the best sounds at the show. The portrayal of the piano was one of the most lifelike they'd heard. Consonant with the most revealing systems elsewhere at the show."

>Lonnie Brownell & Richard Rosen

The Perfect Vision

"Its gracefully spherical shape, the softness of its silhouette, and its comical softball size made the Gallo system a crowd pleaser"

"So utterly disarming to the eye and ear that people would sit before it, listen to music and never guess they were the source of the sound."

"This single driver satellite performed exceedingly well, favoring neither male nor female vocals"

"Almost scary in its ability to disappear out of the soundstage and remarkable in its ability to convey nuance and detail"

"The powered subwoofer is a gem, as fast as quicksilver and as dynamic as a vial of nitro."

"Bone crushing dynamics of the Das Boot variety-the Micros were still outmaneuvering those depth charges at over 95-dB levels!"

"The perfect apartment speaker - an ideal balance of style and substance - extremely good at the price. The micro is the best looking and sounding speaker system of its type that I've auditioned."

"Resolved instruments with proper weight and impressive detail. Voices sound surprisingly real. Rendered bass guitar with excellent definition and attack."

"The satellites and subwoofer integrate very nicely and sound like a cohesive, single unit. Never edgy or hashy and always highly listenable."

"The subwoofer sounds tight, fast and controlled, it can really shake its bottom end and boogie with excellent rhythm and drive, which brings realism to the music."

>Doug Schneider

"It's damn near impossible to reconcile the big, bold, articulate sound I'm hearing from these orange sized speakers"

"When compared to anything near their size, these guys are in a league of their own"

"I was jazzed by their imaging capabilities...these tiny speakers are capable of throwing an ultra-wide, yet razor sharp soundstage...Delicious tactile details abounded, drums and percussion felt very alive and real"

"Bass is startlingly deep, taught and rhythmic...Mid Bass definition was frighteningly good."

>Steve Guttenberg

Beautifully made, five finishes and each is gorgeous

I was impressed by the speakers' overall balance, excellent midrange and remarkable coherence

Exceptional neutrality and detail, low level and ambient information is heard easily

Deep, powerful, yet highly tuned bottom end, a combination of amazing detail and truly thrilling impact. I dig this subwoofer. I dig everything about it: the way it looks, the way it sounds, the brains behind the design, the whole kit and caboodle.

Performs beautifully, looks awesome, highly affordable-my discovery of the year

It's nice to see small companies achieve great results by thinking smarter, one of the coolest looking and best sounding sat/sub rigs there is

"Looking good is one thing, but do they deliver the sonic goods? In two words You bet!"

"What you get is a glorious middle-frequency where the heart of most music exists."

If you want better sound, you're going to pay more or buy bigger speakers (and probably both). The bass is awesome ! And I don't mean it's going to give your neighbors a migraine; I mean it sounds *good*. Low, clear and fast

Ken writes:
At first glance I was very skeptical. Once the music started I was really blown away. The subwoofer has shocking kick, the mid-range is smooth as a baby's behind, and the highs are airy and crisp-vocals are impressive. 5 stars, 5 stars I say!

Hugh writes:
Sonic detail, potency, and imaging in speakers the size of a baseball! The Micro is a fantastic deal that continually surprises me. You would think for speakers that size would matter. Gallo has proven that big things come in small (and very eye-pleasing) packages.

Don writes:
I love the Micro package! I have a rather small place, so the Micros are a Godsend. My girlfriend loves them - she thinks they look great, and that works for me.

Paul writes:
I auditioned the Mirage AVS, Energy Take 5 and Definitive Pro Cinema systems in my room (18x20') and am very glad I waited for the Micros. They put the other systems to shame.

John writes:
You won't believe the sound until you hear it for yourself. They are the BEST under $1000 speakers I have ever heard, and I've auditioned a lot of speakers this last year. Some people think Bose when they see how small these things are. Bose wishes...O.K. so I liked the Nucleus a little better. You have to hear these. Is there a six star rating?

Nicholas writes:
I think these speakers are absolutely wonderful. They 'disappear', they create a 'stage' like effect where you can close your eyes and see the musicians. You can hear every brush on every cymbal. They're just great.

Rob writes:
They have surprised me many times with the amount of detail they present. They sound better then the Bose and it's hard to beat a lifetime warranty too!

Fabian writes:
AWESOME!! Just got them yesterday, I've never heard anything this clear before. I've been shopping for some time. Compared to Paradigm, PSB, NHT etc. none come close to this clarity. You just have to go listen. They are really incredible.
