At that price point, you have a ton of options. I think the best thing is to take some of your favorite recordings, and start hitting up stores. For non-ID brands, I myself would be very curious about Monitor Audio, Revel, and Dynaudio to name a few around that price. (I use Martin Logan, unideal for HT though).
For the 1007 BE, my opinions/impressions. The treble is much too hot and forward. Sometimes it sounds great, but with anything that might be considered as an old recording (of which I have plenty, all classical and jazz), the BE tweeters can be unbelievably unforgiving, IMO. Extremely prominent, loud, and overwhelming hiss. That, plus its quite poor bass extension would have me looking elsewhere. What I don't understand is that for 6k, however, you could be looking at a pair of demo or used 1037 BE's with money in your pocket. Or at least the 1027s as new. Right? Id still would go with the other lines aforementioned, in my case at least.
I haven't heard the Gallo's. Good luck.
