Green Mountain Audio at RMAF


Did anyone hear the new Callypso and Pico speakers from Green Mountain Audio. My work schedule made it impossible for me to attend the show this year. I would appreciate your views on Roy Johnson's new designs.

Regards.

I noticed on another thread that you said that you thought the Europas were perhaps a little unrefined for classical music.
That hasn't been my experience, but I do think that they are brutally honest about upstream equipment and recording quality.
I also agree that at $2900 the callisto has vaulted several price brackets, so it's going to be up against much stiffer competition than my $900 Europas. I'm afraid that price increases may kill GMA's customer base.
I think I agree with Opalchip. My guess is that GMA are moving from pricing based on a profit margin to pricing based on what the market will bear.

That's a fully justifiable decision for them to make. If they think $2900 Callistos will sell against their competition then good luck to them. It is every business' right to charge what the market will bear for a product regardless of the cost of production of that product.

I can say, however, that the chances that I trade up in from my Europas is now absolutely nill.
