What customers say
The Gallo Acoustics A’Diva SE Loudspeaker earns high praise for its exceptional soundstage and clarity, delivering audio that feels remarkably open and precise despite its compact size.

Know before you buy
Yes, the A’Diva SE is engineered to perform well on its own. While adding a subwoofer will provide deeper bass extension for movies, the speaker is capable of handling full-range audio for music listening without one.
The spherical shape is inherently rigid and eliminates internal standing waves and enclosure resonance. This design choice results in a cleaner, more accurate sound with significantly less distortion than traditional box-shaped speakers.
By eliminating the crossover, the A’Diva SE avoids the phase shifts and signal degradation often introduced by these components. This allows for a more coherent, seamless sound with superior spatial imaging.
Absolutely. Their wide dispersion characteristics make them excellent for home theater, as they create a broad, immersive soundstage that fills the room effectively, even from a compact footprint.
Each speaker comes with the Isolation2 surface mount accessory, which allows you to place the unit securely on a desktop, shelf, or flat surface while minimizing vibration.
The A’Diva SE is rated for up to 60 watts of power. Given its 4-ohm nominal impedance, ensure your amplifier or receiver is compatible with 4-ohm loads to get the best performance.
