What a great looking system and space. Not many speakers in the price range of the Gallo's impress me but they are a speaker I could live with. Mapleshade makes some stands specifically for the 3.5...

Nice room.I imagine you don't plug the amps into the Premier. I can't have my MA-1's on a premier. Which soundlabs did you have? Did you use the Atma's on the Soundlabs?
