GMA Europa discontinued?

I've tried emailing the address provided on the GMA site with no response and now one of the ads for the GMA Europa says this speaker is discontinued. Although it is well below the price range I was looking at, I was considering picking up a pair to try in my computer room. Has it really been discontinued? Anyone know the story behind this?

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 :-)

Just an update...

Seems like things have taken a turn of events. I just got off the phone with Green Mountain's new CEO. She said Roy has decided to pursue a completely new speaker, priced between the Europa and the 1.5i. made out of marble, black, supposed to be really svelt looking, and to quote "500% better" than the Europa. $2195 price, initial offering price $1795 until September, called the Callisto, after a moon that orbits Jupiter.

I am waiting on the spec's to be emailed to me. Rear ported design.

Roy, hope I am not giving anything away!

Oh,

I forgot. I have no relationship to Green Mountain, just a current owner of the Europa. I have actually been on the upgrade kick and thought it a good idea to see what was going on at GM before I decided.
