Anthony Gallo Acoustics has added a line source to their loudspeaker lineup, the Gallo Reference 5LS.

 

Utilizing seven of Gallo's proprietary CDT II tweeters mated with eight 4" carbon fiber midranges, each in their own 5" spherical housing, the slender 5LS is a mere seven inches wide and eleven inches deep. Twelve aluminum 4" woofers occupy a stainless steel enclosure on the back of the 5LS.  Gallo claims that configuration gives the surface area of a 15" driver, but with an order of magnitude faster response. Interestingly, the only crossover utilized in the 5LS is a first order on the bass drivers.

 

Expect more info on the statuesque, 78" tall Anthony Gallo Acoustics 5LS at CES in January.
