ML Fresco vs Gallo Reference AV

You might have a hard time getting advice on this one.
The truth is, there aren't a ton of martin logan and anthony gallo owners here.

I've heard martin logans before but I don't know if it was the frescos. The logans I heard sounded very airy to me. The sound didn't seem real.
On the other hand I've also heard the Gallo refs 3.1 and was very impressed. The sound can seem very real esspecially on good recordings.
I'm not a jazz guy but when I auditioned them the salesmen played a jazz recording of a piano, drums, and a bass. You way the gallos displayed the instruments was like no other speaker I have ever heard before. If you closed your eyes you could make out where all the instuments were and the speakers seem to give a body to the instruments. The gallos aren't perfect, (no speaker is) I would reccomend a good sub to go with them.

If the frescos seem more revealing maybe they are. But make sure that they just aren't brightening up some of the sound in the high range and making it seem that they are more revealing. Listen to some music on both that you are familiar with to make sure that your impressions are accurate and listen for a while to see if one becomes fatigeing.

For me there is no comparison. I was originally looking at the Frescos, and when I heard them, I was so disappointed in their sound(especially considering their price tag). I recently auditioned the Reference AV's, and to me there is no comparison, AV's win hands down. I will be purchasing them in the near future. The Frescos sounded like cheap plasma speakers to me, where as the Gallos sound like high end monitors...that's my 2 cents.
