I haven't tried that combination as well. the best thing to do is to bring your avr to audition the 3040s with it and play your favorite audio tracks

but even without auditioning, im sure the 3040 would still perform well!!

goodluck!

ok, thanks a lot!

i have a pair of bose bookshelf speakers which i'm currently using as main speakers, i'm planning to make them as surround speakers once i purchase the 3040, what do you think?

Seems to be a good idea Jimbo!! I dont think timbre or tone will be that big a factor for a different brand for surrounds or even for a different subwoofer. In general, HT hobbyist would want to have similar sets of speakers not only for aesthetic consistency but also for a seamless integration and a matched surround sound reproduction. I however have experienced different speaker brands on 1 set-up and the result is OK naman.

Just concentrate on your fronts and center and I advise that you do get the 3050c to go with your planned purchase of the 3040 floorstanders. I assure you that the 2 are a complimentary combo

And though bose speakers are known for being a little sharp or bright, im pretty much sure this won't be much of a factor. The signal sent to the surrounds doesn't really ask much from any speaker, thus it doesn't bring out the characteristics of a certain brand. Hopefully the difference won't be too obvious

Hi kt!!! gale subs are ok! They're actually not bad!!! But I would recommend that you stretch your subwoofer budget a bit and just get better performing subs (MordauntShort/Infinity/Yamaha), or go for the high priced ones hehehe. They would give you a deeper and more quality bass that you may actually FEEL!!!

greg how about the mordaunt short subs? yan po yung may 3ports sa back dba? ok po ba yun kahit 8" lang?

3 ports? i think yun yung 10 incher. It's a notch better than the gale sw for me. mas quality yung bass

ive tried the ms904, ms905c paired with 5th aves thx certified marantz (dont know wc model)....n i wud say ganda n ang clear ng sound. i also tried it side by side with their gale 3030 and 3050c.... actually di ko madistinguish masyado yung difference. just mas buo yung ms904. but for the price...sbrang mas mura yung gale!!!!

any other reviews guys? im choosing kasi between these gale seires 30 and the wharfes 9 series esp the 9.4.
your comments on gales 3030 vs wharfes 9.4 naman. tnx!

I called up 5th avenue and it's not yet available po. They still don't even know about this particular model. Might not be more than 2 mos. at the Gale site since I happen to see this model just this week. The 3040 is @P9k so I reckon the 3045 will come in at @P12k or less when it do come out.

heads up guys!!! the 30 series are about to become the CLASSICS of this brand. Ubusan nalang ng stocks coz parating na (hopefully) yung 40 series (http://www.gale.co.uk/40series.html). Still no advise on how much these new speakers would cost but the specs are the same with the 30 series, except for their composite cones and aluminum plugs. I believe a "slightly" higher price would be fair for these babies.

kamusta na gales natin? I'm thinking now of getting the 3060B just to complete my GALE set-up and promote my 3030 pair as my front speaker B for audio

Parang un-utilized kasi yung 3030 speakers ko for surround purposes only

The 3040s would remain as my main speakers for HT. What do you think? this would be my cheapest SARS upgrade option hahhaha

how's the 3060B so far? would you recommend them or the move im going to make?

hmmm... i still wish they'd bring in the 3045. i like these paper cones... not much need of breaking-in.

hi din, bro greg. i'm fine with my 30-series setup pa naman. about your plan... i think with your layout you would benefit more if you go with the 3020... a direct firer. kasi sa bipolar you may need a wall from where to bounce the other part of the speaker. but no harm in trying though. kaya lang, if you go with the 3020 option, you might need a speaker stand... and that would bring up the price of that setup to 3030 level na rin.

anyway, about the 4040... i just hope they already made some adjustment to their crossover network for that speaker, which seems to be the weakness of it's predecessor, the 3040.
