Anyone heard Opera Callas Mini?

I think the Opera Mini you mention is discontinued..If it is the same monitor I inquired about.I was told this very succesfull monitor speaker was just taken out of the line up...Not sure why,but thats what i was told by a USA dealer and also a rep from Opera...You can check with Upscale Audio.He may have one or two left but thats what I came up with...Good luck.........Hopefully I am correct in my info.......

Thanks Thorman. Actually I have all my info wrong. The speaker I heard was the new Opera Mezza. And the speaker I'm interested in is the Opera Callas, not the mini, but the larger monitor that's been described in Stereophile.

I own the Opera Callas monitors. They are very good speakers with surprising bass and a wonderful top-to-bottom integration. They're warmer than some monitors so the treble isn't as sparkling as some. The treble detail is there but not as prominent as in some monitors. It's a very easy-to-listen to speaker. I found ss amps work better with his speaker esp. the bass.

Thanks Hoggshead: I am actually thinking of downsizing from my Kharma 1.0 speakers and considered the Opera Callas mini. Right now I really have my eye on the Ridge Street Audio Sason Granite Monitor . Though I do need to sell my speakers first......Such is life......

Hoggshead, which stands are you using with the Callus? I've read that Opera makes two stands, one for $400, the other for $1000. Is one meant for the Callus and are you using that one? I can't quite rationalize $1000 stands. Can anyone else give recommendations?

Hello Rfprice,
I use a simple 24" all-wood stand; nothing special or fancy. BTW, this is the model I'm talking about
