GMA Europa discontinued?

Nathan, this is your first post in Audiogon, as far as I can tell. Are the rest of your posts going to be sniping, or do you plan to contribute something ?

Roy spent 10-15 minutes discussing Europas, music, my amp, my listening room, the height of my chair etc last week. I have yet to hear his speakers, but I've got to be thankful for a guy who's not only willing, but happy to do that for a potential customer of his entry-level product.

Roy,

Can you tell us in advance the specs of the new Europa? Is it going to be more efficient than the original? What will be the minimum power requirement? Thank you for making true high end sound affordable for us audiopaupers!

Regards,

Nathan, i gotta agree with Songwriter here 100%. Im not sure why you are so skeptical about an audio company who displays such concern in helping thier customers and ensuring they are satisified with thier product. Roy does not only answer to people who have bought his speakers either.
If you are more comfortable calling a larger company and talking to some "Tech support" guy who probably knows less about the gear than yer average audiophile, then feel free to go with them.

It never ceases to amaze me when someone as busy as roy takes his time to help customers and possible customers. Roy is the guy who engineered the product! And here we have several people who just can not accept a good thing at face value.

So, Nathan, if you win 100,000 bucks, it sure seems like yer the type of guy who would complain about the taxes instead of being happy for a fat chunk of change.

Also, messing around in audiogon might be something he does for pleasure instead of work, and a real quick post here and there to answer questions about his product is a good thing, i dont care what others think.

Sorry you guys took what I said about Roy in a negative way, that was not my intention. I too have talked to Roy on the phone and I've heard his speakers

Abruce, I guess I took it in a negative way because it was negative :-)
