It is disappointing that Anthony Gallos work is being sidelined by WhatHiFi, obviously political. It's a shame and shameful when politics take over. Especially when its a top product, the community deserves better from WhatHiFi.
intersting point, thank you. I had no idea WHF only takes in products brought to their doorstep, so yes, this explains the WHF business policy, and Gallo's resistance as such, likely for his own good reasons.Have they ever offered to supply samples to WHF so they could be tested, my guess would be no, and this would explain why they have never been tested, and nothing to do with politics.
In addition HI-Fi/AV enthusiasts are a conservative bunch and the speakers you mention look more like lifestyle products, so probably not of that much interest to WHF readers.

The first point is correct, most hifi magazines will only review what is sent to them for review so if nothing from Gallo has been supplied you cannot expect to see any reviews. I haven't seen anything by Estelon either but I am not crying political.intersting point, thank you.

Your second point is a little more concerning, agreed the Gallos looks like awkward pop cult phones, but I would hope that the WHF criteria go beyond looks, and not overshadow or even deter what an audiophile would be capable of hearing with open ears, there would be a risk to miss out on a lot of iconoclastic gear, in fact quite a lot of top gear brakes with the tradition of box design.
I see that Gallo products are sold by Richer Sounds, and they look at first like gimmicks given the appearance. Is there a Hifi range you could recommend, as I’m probably guilty of not taking them seriously.intersting point, thank you.

Audio Affair are also stockists, should one see a shift range I might be interestedI see that Gallo products are sold by Richer Sounds, and they look at first like gimmicks given the appearance. Is there a Hifi range you could recommend, as I’m probably guilty of not taking them seriously.
