| GMA Callisto feedback Green Mountain Audio 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. | |
| GMA Callisto feedback Green Mountain Audio 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 re... | |
| Other Hobbies? I'm with you Champtree, woodworking is my "other" hobby. Mostly solid cherry custom work from rocking chairs to beds to most any cabinet work. | |
| More personal effort in audiogon or our jobs? My job is currently going through some high stress changes. While I enjoy it, the expectations continue to rise and personal time has become less and less. Sometimes, I break away from work for a minute and jump on Agon and get a release. Besides ... | |
| Best Speakers below $1000 for my needs Sounds like a pair of Green Mountain Audio Europas. They image like crazy, are very neutral and while their following is not huge, they do deem respect from even the most demanding audiophile. Can be had new for a grand or used for $600-$700. Read... | |
| AES/Cary SixPacs - up grade tubes? I'm using the EH EL34 tubes in my Sixpacs. Sure, I hear a difference, not sure if its better, just different. Maybe it's because I want to, definately not night/day in my system, but better. The extreemes are where I hear it, both highs and lows s... | |
| Audio Aero Prima vs. Resolution Audio Opus 21 I believe the answer is no. You would set the volume on the Opus to max and use your pre for volume control. | |
| Help on some under $2500 speakers Green Mountain Europas will fit the bill. Way under your budget and with all the qualities you are seeking. They beat Totem Forests in my livingroom. Don't under estimate these gems. Do a search here under "Europa" to see what people say about them. | |
| Anyone know of any cryoed speaker wire? I trialed VH Audio's cryo'd Star-quad wire against many others including Audience Au24 and I kept the VH Audio wire. Worked for me in my system. Sounds like what you're looking for. | |
| Best female vocals on CD Ken, Jane Monheit is one of my favorites. Not only is her latest CD a jewel, but the recording is outstanding. Talk about a cd to display the capabilities of your rig, this is it for me. | |
| Good monitors used under $1000? Call me nuts, but the aestetics of the Europas is growing on me. I have them sitting on a pair of Osiris stands and they seem to be a great match from a function and proportion standpoint. My other hobby is building custom hardwood furniture, so I... | |
| Good monitors used under $1000? Your room size is similar to mine. I owned Paradigm Studio 40 V2 monitors and have moved on to three other speakers since. The ones that are staying are the GMA Europas. They are in your budget (around $600 used) and will do what you are looking f... | |
| VH Audio, Ridge St Audio or Audience Au24 XLRs? Bingenito, my decision to go with the Star-quad wire was from Chris's recommendation after I liked the performance of his PCs and ICs. I was using Audience Au24 speaker wires and when I compared the Star-quad, I really couldn't tell a difference, ... | |
| VH Audio, Ridge St Audio or Audience Au24 XLRs? I'll jump in. I did do a home test between two of these cables, the Au24s and the Pulsars. I had been using Audience Au24 ICs and SCs in my system. I wanted to try out the Pulsars fron Chris since I was so pleased with his power cords. In my syste... | |
