Galileo Universal Speaker Cells

Galileo Universal Speaker Cell Top View
With Galileo Universal Speaker Cells, you hear an extraordinary balance of musicality, detail, and refinement. In fact, the new Galileo Universal Speaker Cells elevate even modest speaker cables to near state-of-the-art status, while taking state-of-the-art speaker cables like our TESLA Precision Reference and Apex to a significant new level of holographic realism, power, and finesse. When fully broken in, we’ve heard Galileo Universal Speaker Cells transform our TESLA Accelerator speaker cables to a level far beyond what is possible from our flagship TESLA Apex speaker cables alone. Of course, TESLA Apex is likewise improved, but we are still very excited by what Galileo Universal Speaker Cells can do for entry and mid level cables. In fact, when we terminated a pair of Nordost Valhalla speaker wires to a pair of Galileo Speaker Cells, we were blown away. Later, we compared this combination to Nordost’s top-of-the-line Odin speaker cables, and the Valhalla / Galileo combo outclassed the far more expensive Odin (without Galileo). Improvements included a larger soundstage, better bottom end, and a more natural mid-range. We expect this trend to continue as we pair Galileo with other top line cables from different manufacturers.
Galileo Universal Speaker Cells are a spin-off of our state-of-the-art Galileo Speaker Cables and Electromagnetic Cell technology found in the TESLA PowerCell. To optimize the performance of Galileo Universal Speaker Cells, we experimented with a myriad of conductor options for it’s internal electromagnetic cell, and developed a strategic blend of copper (for mid range warmth and layering) and silver (for high frequency purity and air), with a Teflon dielectric for clarity, precision, and power. Performance is enhanced, with included razor sharp Stiletto spikes that elevate the internal Active EM Cell from the floor, for a dramatic increase in air and image separation in the soundfield (to verify, simply listen to your cells with and without Stilettos attached). Each Galileo Universal Cell is handmade and Quantum Tunneled in our California factory to ensure quality and performance. In order to bring Galileo to as wide an audience as possible, we include a special Quantum Tunneled speaker cable, voiced just for Galileo Cable Cells: the Galileo BASIK. So if Galileo is your first high end speaker cable, you’ll have the perfect speaker cable to use with your new Galileo Universal Speaker Cells.
Installing Galileo Speaker Cells in your system is easy
First plug the power connector into the Cell
Next connect your speaker cable’s spade or banana plugs to the Galileo’s 5-way binding posts
Finally, connect one set of Galileo Speaker Leads for full range speakers
For bi-wire speakers, connect two sets of Galileo Speaker Leads
For tri-wire speakers, connect three sets of Galileo Speaker Leads
You are now ready to enjoy the benefits of Galileo Universal Speaker Cells in your system

I got these about a month ago. It took a few minutes to install them and about one hour for everything to settle down. What you hear is greatly improved clarity and better dynamics. It is trite but true that once you have heard them, you will not remove them. I just cannot bring myself to go back to describe what is lost without them. They are expensive but the improvement were it possible to gain in a better amp or speakers would cost you much more.
