Welcome to Anthony Gallo Acoustics

Thank you for purchasing Anthony Gallo Acoustics (AGA) loudspeakers. Since we first
started designing speakers in 1994, we have continually invested in advanced engineering,
modeling, and testing to ensure that AGA speakers deliver outstanding performance and
value throughout the range. We hope you, like so many industry reviewers, will be thrilled
with the quality of sound that your new AGA speakers deliver.

This manual is for the Classico CL-C. The Classico line includes two compact bookshelf
systems (CL-1 and CL-2), two floor standing models (CL-3 and CL-4), a horizontal center
channel (CL-C), and two matching subwoofers (CLS-10 and CLS-12). Therefore, you can
set up anything from a pure stereo system to various multi-channel surround sound
systems using voice-matched Classico models. No matter whether you're setting up an
audio-centric stereo listening room or a surround sound media system, AGA's Classico
Series will enhance your listening and viewing experience.
