Green Mountain Audio at RMAF

To each his own. But the $2900 Callisto vs, the VR4Sr at, what, $7K?

Just a quick note to say that IMO Tlday's phrasing is very interesting as it describes HIS experience in a revelatory way and THIS experience is intriguing:

Tlday's description would seem to indicate that either the speakers OR the amp OR both, were inadequately driven -- RATHER than the spkrs themselves are badly badly designed.

Now, this would be very strange given that at an audio fest the manufacturer himself chooses the partnering equip -- but there it is...

Some of these posts are just insane!

Not sure which model of Green Mountain, but a monitor.

Quite the evaluation for someone who didn't spend enough time to know the name of the speaker........

What is impressive in a short-term show setting is probably deep bass and treble extension. What will be enchanting over a long relationship has little to do with these qualities though. In fact, deep bass might be overbearing long term, and what tickled your fancy with sparkling treble might end up being bright, analytical, unnatural.

So, a brief, unspectacular audition COULD mean the speaker is well balanced and doesn't highlight the audiohead touchstones. My Zu speakers are this way. Until the room is quiet and you can pay attention, they don't jump up and demand attention. But when proper focus is given, it is rewarded.
