Speakers after GMA Europas


Hello everyone,

I had to sell my gear about a year ago to finish up grad school and I want to start building my setup again simply because I miss it so much. My current budget is about $2500 for both speakers and amp but do not know where to go. I had the GMA Europas which I loved and cannot decide what to replace it with.

What would you suggest for both speakers and amp?

How about upgrading to a used pair of GMA Callistos or Rios, which can be usually had for $1500 or thereabouts, and pairing them with a used Blue Circle CS, which can be had for $700 or so? That would be a killer combo.
I have owned Callistos and my buddy has Europas. I'm not completely convinced the Callisto is a valid upgrade. The Europa is a very good speaker and will be hard to beat with the budget you have. I would keep an eye out for another pair.
