Green Mountain Audio at RMAF
I emailed Janet Lynn, CEO of GMA and she verified the price increase to $2900 on the Callisto. Packing and material costs have a huge impact on costs. I wonder if this will be a trend with all manufacturers with the rise of fuel and transportation... 
Green Mountain Audio at RMAF
I am in the midwest. I own the GMA Callisto's and was curious about the Callypso, but out of my price range at the moment. 
Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?
I also agree with Musicfirst and Woofer15 on Green Mountain Audio and Roy Johnson. Most satisfying speakers I have encountered. IF I upgrade, it will be moving up the GMA line. No placement problems or having to sit just in the sweet spot to enjoy...

Phil: Did you change to a passive preamp with the Druid's. I have read that high gain preamps loose control with the 101bd effeciency of these speakers. Is this true? 
GMA Callisto
I don't know what was on AA, but the sound stage is huge and fills my whole house. I can sit to the side and still enjoy these speakers. The sweet spot is everywhere, not just one location like planer speakers, ect. Yes, there is one perfect spot,...

Thanks for the info Phil. I will seek out the Druids and hear these for myself. 
GMA Callisto
I use a Cary Rocket 88R and Cary SLP50A with oil cap upgrade. All tubes have been replaced to nos of my liking and I have not turned back. The Callisto speakers still amaze me after a full year. I listen almost every day now and buy more and more ...

I personally would like to compare the Green Mountain Audio Callisto to the Zu Druids. Has anyone done this? Both are first order crossovers. The Callisto I own has a cast marble cabinet that is dead quiet and the best I have heard. The Druids are...

trying to upgrade speakers
Green Mountain Callisto. I listened to all the speakers you have mentioned and the Callisto was the one I went back to every time. I waited two months for mine to be built and it would be worth waiting a year. My room is approximately the same siz... 
Best Speaker New or Used under $1.5K
IMO, Green Mountain speakers sound good with all equipment. They are very neutral. If the recording is bad, it will sound like a bad recording. If it is good, it will sound very good. I also found after buying Green Mountain, I wanted to upgrade m...

I second Songwriter72. Go with Green Mountain and never look back.

Green Mountain Audio Callisto. 90-91 db effecient, rated at 50 hz, but I sold my sub since they go way lower than that. I listen to all kinds of music, but rock kicks butt on the Callisto's. Best speaker and company for the money and worth much mo... 
Green Mountain Audio Calypso
I contacted Janet and Roy by email recently about the GMA website. The new website will be the complete opposite of the current website with vast amounts of information. It takes time to design a quality website with the information I believe the ...
