Gallo Nucleus speakers

Anthony Gallo designed his first loudspeaker at the tender age of fourteen. His first commercially available product – the Nucleus reference speaker, went on sale in 1994. Today, Gallo Acoustics loudspeakers are sold in over 30 countries worldwide.


Our collection includes a pair of the very rare (original design) of the Gallo Nucleus speakers.

Comments:
" ... these speakers are a must-hear for a musically satisfying, holographic experience. If your speakers provide an image so real that you think you can reach out and touch someone, maybe you won't be missing anything out of this world - but I doubt it. These are the speakers that wil scoff at surround-sound and all its complexity....

" Their imaging was called "utterly spooky."

Rated sensitivity was noted at 88dB at 1w/1m with 8-ohm nominal impedance and 6-ohm minimum, an easy load to drive even with single-ended triode amps.
Price as listed at $895 in 1996 


Anthony Gallo Loudspeakers – The Early Years

From his teenage years, Anthony Gallo was obsessed by loudspeaker design, and spent many hours experimenting with varying loudspeaker designs; a process which was sometimes (literally) shocking in the discoveries the young Gallo would make.

Balancing day jobs as an engineer for Panasonic, and a thriving video repair business, Anthony Gallo’s dream of creating the ultimate loudspeaker was still burning very brightly indeed. So much so, he sold his business and his cars to fund the next stage of his loudspeaker dream.

After nine years of development, Gallo created his first Cylindrical Diaphragm Transducer; inspired by a magazine article on the properties of piezoelectric film, the CDT was to prove one of the key technologies associated with Anthony Gallo loudspeakers.

Anthony Gallo’s first commercial loudspeaker system was a monstrous, six component system. “It took special movers to get it from one sound room to another”. Utilising incredibly advanced cabinetry to eliminate resonances and internal reflections, led to enormous weight and cost.

It was time to try something new….

The Spherical Revolution

The design challenge was to design an enclosure which would at least equal that of his monstrous component system. The search was on for an inert, rigid enclosure which was lighter and more cost effective than the cabinets Gallo had been using up until that point.

“The problem was coming up with an equally inert enclosure. It had to be either very, very massive or incredibly rigid. It could not have any parallel walls and must minimise diffraction” It was at this point that Gallo looked towards the concept of using spherical enclosures.

The Sphere was found to have the best characteristics in terms of reducing internal diffractions, and was also, coincidentally, the strongest structure known. Unlike box cabinet speakers, the less mass the sphere had, the better it performed.

“Ironically enough, the 1.5 pound 12″ diameter sphere that was used in the Nucleus blew away the 300-pound monolith in terms of transparency and lack of cabinet coloration“. One thing was clear – the future was spherical.

The Nucleus is Born

Anthony Gallo had, by this time, been joined by a new business partner Gary Pelled; moving to the basement of a 100-year-old building in Brooklyn NY; the pair birthed one of the most unique speaker systems ever launched, The Nucleus.

The Nucleus began gaining critical acclaim at various trade shows, such as the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and other trade shows, although people were initially taken aback by the concept of a round loudspeaker. It was decided that rather than disguising the Nucleus’ futuristic shape, it would instead become an ultra-modern feature.

The Nucleus became a success, bringing with it a change of premises and a third partner, Don Fried. Just as things were looking rosy, the market changed; high-end two channel audio was being threatened by surround systems. Once again, an answer was required and neatly segues us into the current Range of Anthony Gallo products today.
