Gale 401a Vertical Orientation

[Andrew]

What is the impact of setting up the Gale 401a in vertical, not horizontal, orientation? I know that horizontal orientation is best, but circumstances mean that to fit the space, these speakers need to be set up in a vertical orientation.  Is this a no go or is it workable?

Hi Andrew,

My friend Dave (vintagegale.com) has been refurbishing Gales from all over the world for the last 25 years and his expertise is unique, so I asked him. His reply:

„Morning Lothar;

You are quite right, how could there be any difference? Using them upright is quite a common thing to do!“

Based on testing and having answered that question many times.

If somebody does not agree, there is an easy solution: Just do what you like ! ;))
