GMA Callisto feedback Green Mountain Audio


Anyone else breaking in a pair of these speakers? I have a pair with about 24 hours on them, and I hear moments of spectacular sound, but not yet at low listening levels. I know 200 hours is the magic break-in time period.

See my system under "Leahy" listed under "evolving system" for other system details.

Let me know if you would like updates as these break in...

Only the Europa is sold factory direct. All other GMA speakers are sold through dealers. Roy said the dealer list will be on the updated site soon, or you can call GMA for the dealer in your area.
I too have owned the Europas for over a year, a very good speaker. I just upgraded to the Callistos. I discussed the details of the purchase with Roy today for 20 minutes. Customer service like you can't believe. This guy reeks of support, from remembering my wifes name to hints of speaker set up. I will report back to this site on the differences between Europas and Callistos when they arrive next week.
I've had the Callistos for six days. They arrived from GMA with 50 hours on them, so not totally broken in yet. All I can say is "stunning". I'm not going to gush here, but the Callistos are the real deal. Differences from the Europas are more bottom end for sure. On some recordings, I can feel it in my chest and feet. You can't believe what you are hearing from these little (relative) speakers in front of you. They seem to dissapear in the room. Are they 500% better than the Europas, certainly not. Are they better than anything else out there, certainly not. Would these outperform other "well known, well advertised, well supported" speakers, maybe (A/B in home trials are best). Am I loyal to the brand, perhaps. Do I want others to experience what I am hearing, absolutely. I'll post other observations on my system page when I update the pics and get a little more time.
Drubin, I don't know how to describe "hall position". What I do know...in addition to increased bottom end, the music has more weight: piano notes are more defined, male and female voices have more body. They seem to dissapear, as I face my system, I can't tell that the sound is coming from the speakers, it sounds like its as wide as my room.
