I think they're ugly, sorry to say (so are my Europas, which I love, but I've learned to live with them, just not in the living room). But I am impressed by this little item in the small print: GMA will break them in for you at the factory (200 hours) for $150. I think I'd pay it.
The New GMA Callisto is one good looking speaker..
I just got some pictures of the new GMA Callisto speaker today from Janet (their new CEO) and it is one sharp looking speaker.
What I found the most interesting in the product information release was Roy Johnson's response to some individual inquiring about the inherit small sweet spot of time and phase correct speaker designs. This is a topic we discussed at length on this board about 2 months ago. According to Roy, in both the GMA C-3 and Callisto the user has the ability to adjust the speaker angle to best suit room and listening considerations. Based on our discussions on this board several brought up the idea that furniture and room configurations can negate some of the advantages found in time and phase speaker designs. it appears these concerns were not lost on Roy, so he decided to deal with them head on.
I'm sure the Callisto is a very good speaker.
