The Anthony Gallo Acoustics Reference AV is a compact, 2.5-way wall-mount bookshelf/satellite speaker that uses four spherical driver enclosures mounted on a slim metal back plate and a CDTII cylindrical diaphragm tweeter with approximately 300° horizontal dispersion for very wide coverage and a large listening sweet spot. The driver complement is four 4-inch carbon-fiber cone mid/woofers with powerful neodymium magnets and one CDTII tweeter, arranged so the inner pair operates without a crossover above 100 Hz while a simple first-order low-pass network engages the outer pair below roughly 100 Hz to reinforce lower midrange and upper bass frequencies. Anthony Gallo's patented S2 bass-enhancing technology is used in the spherical enclosures to extend low-frequency response, with a specified on-wall frequency range of 55 Hz to 35 kHz, nominal impedance of 4–8 ohms, sensitivity around 88 dB, and recommended amplifier power up to 150 W RMS / 300 W peak. The tweeter's very wide dispersion and the MTM-style array of spheres give the Reference AV a spacious soundstage, broad sweet spot, and excellent transient response, making it suitable for both music and home-theater use as main, side, or rear channels when paired with an appropriate subwoofer. The enclosure is designed primarily for on-wall mounting via an integrated bracket, though it can also be used on stands, and is available in Matte Black, Matte Black with Brushed Stainless-Steel Spheres, Matte White, and Silver/Gray finishes. Dimensions (without stand) are approximately 25.4 x 6.4 x 7.1 inches (H x W x D) and weight is about 23 lb including the wall bracket.

The closest alternatives on specs, description and the systems they turn up in, with the specs they share set side by side.
The XR50's impedance is 8Ω against the Reference AV's 6Ω, its low-frequency extension 40 Hz against 55 Hz, its woofer 6" against 4", and its ways 3 against 2.5.
The PerformaBe M126Be's impedance is 8Ω against the Reference AV's 6Ω, its low-frequency extension 54 Hz against 55 Hz, its ways 2 against 2.5, and its woofer 6.5" against 4".
The NS-600A's low-frequency extension is 47 Hz against the Reference AV's 55 Hz, its woofer 5.12" against 4", and its ways 2 against 2.5. Both share impedance (6Ω).
The Waltz Grand's impedance is 4Ω against the Reference AV's 6Ω, its low-frequency extension 70 Hz against 55 Hz, its woofer 6" against 4", and its ways 2 against 2.5.
