The Gallo reference are little heavy on the bass thus not really well balance. They are definitely better than your B$W 600 series. The sown side to it as well is that the dealers always push for the amplifier

Not too fond of B&W?

And of course they're better than my 683s. They better be!

You mean B$W? To me you're just paying for the name on their lower models. Their good ones are in the 800 series.

There are probably as many speaker companies as there are people in China.

I think their CM series are also very good, and are the sweet spot, but I generally agree with your point. The 700 series are due for an update soon. The 600 series are good for their price point, but are definitely the weak point of the line up. I do find the whole vinyl finish and lack of actual wood grain on the 600 series to be a slap in the face to the brand. Nevertheless, they are a great entry point for anyone who wants "hifi" speakers, just expect to get upgraditis if you have the 600 series, it's only natural.
