What are your favorite monitors?
Slappy, I imagine you are right. Sorry, i just couldn't resist having a little fun. Plus, I think there were a number of other owners suppoting the Caravelle speaker. Hey, I haven't heard it. Would like to.

Damn man, the bait's in the water. Where is he? 
Is the McCormack DNA .5 that great?
IamCrazy111, I too have been looking at this amp and upgrade as great value and wondering how great it could be. I must say you got some very detailed and concise responses. Ptm and Labtec, thank you both very much for your complete and objective ... 
GMA Europa owners....
Jb3, The Signal cable I replaced was an Analog 1. You list the Analog 2 in your system, so I don't know how the two would compare exactly. However, I think for the used price it would be a good try. Roy recommends A.M. cables for his speakers and ...

I just replaced my Signal IC's with Audio Magic Excalibur 11 IC's. Far more transparent high end, better staging and more depth. Simply a huge improvement. They work great with the Europas. 
Anyone tried a different pre with an NADc370?
jB3, Not a preamp, but I am running a dac into the main on the c370. In this system the Nad retains it's character completely. Capable, but no overall sonic shift. 
Any good integrated amps with a sub out
Scottatl, My Nad c370 has a sub out. The Manley Stingray can be ordered with one for an extra $100.00 
2,000-2,500 speakers
DPM2340, Uh, are you sure you need that many speakers man? I only have two here and they are working out okay. 
Son of Ampzilla/Thoebe. Are they worth turning on?
Jw94055, Ah, you touch a chord here. I owned an early Ampzilla and eventually got the Thaedra to match. This would be about 1979 or so as I recall. I was auditioning a new Sony Mos Fet amp at a dealer and asked if he would play the Ampzilla for me... 
I've got a basic, directional decision to make.
Jb3, I too have the Europa monitor and I am really happy with them. I pair them with Nad equipment--C370 amp and 521i cdp.The Europas have me itching for the upgrade of my amp and source as I think they have much more to give then I can get out of... 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
1986 Porsche 944. No car payment. Next car Porsche 944. Ultimate-Porsche 944s2. Okay, maybe I might look around some. 
Green Mountain Audio still in business?
Yup, I agree about Roy. He has spent much time with me on the phone over the repair of shipping damage to my Europas and other issues. He makes time for his customers in my experience. Scott 
Best stand mounted monitors
Yes, be sure you at least check the Green Mountain Audio Europas before spending bigger bucks. I absolutely love mine and will have to upgrade my rather modest source and amp soon to realize all they have to give. 
GMA Europas-first impressions
Tennisjunky, Not bad! You can get away from a system like that for tennis? Thanks, Scott. 
GMA Europas-first impressions
Tennisjunky, Which REL sub are you using with the Europas? For that matter, what is your system as I am looking at new CD-Ampupgrades down the road. Thanks, Scott
