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.

The speaker should be renamed "The Black Thumb."
I mean, just look at the thing. It's hideous.
Unless, of course, you want a big black thumb
sitting in the middle of your living room. Then
it's absolutely perfect!

So, I guess beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder.

I was thinking finger and nail at first, but I guess a thumb will work too. I kind of prefer the human anatomical look... I've just ordered a pair of monitors that look like an ear and the stands are modeled after a nose. WAF factor .02.

I guess GMA is finally in the process of updating their web site. Lots of good background information on the company and their products.

Got tracking numbers from GMA last night. My Callistos will be arriving on Wednesday. According to new CEO, they're the pair GMA used at the Rocky Mountain show this weekend. Did anybody get to hear them?!
