GMA Europa discontinued?

I've tried emailing the address provided on the GMA site with no response and now one of the ads for the GMA Europa says this speaker is discontinued. Although it is well below the price range I was looking at, I was considering picking up a pair to try in my computer room. Has it really been discontinued? Anyone know the story behind this?

Sonance, I'm currently getting a pair. Did you try to contact JM sound in the classifieds ? Joe's a good guy from who I have bought gear in the past. www.jmsound.com.
Joe had one pair left as of Monday.

Nathan, this is your first post in Audiogon, as far as I can tell. Are the rest of your posts going to be sniping, or do you plan to contribute something ?

Roy spent 10-15 minutes discussing Europas, music, my amp, my listening room, the height of my chair etc last week. I have yet to hear his speakers, but I've got to be thankful for a guy who's not only willing, but happy to do that for a potential customer of his entry-level product.

Abruce, I guess I took it in a negative way because it was negative :-)

The Europa is not discontinued, but will be a factory direct product from now on. Higher models will go through their existing dealer chain.

I spoke with their new CEO this morning. She seems like she has some good ideas. Going factory direct was the only way they could make a healthy margin on a low cost product.

Hope this helps. My europas are sounding very good ... more on this later. Sean
