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?

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.

Does that make the Europa an "instant classic"?

So the Europa will continue to be produced then.

I hope so, as I own this speaker and have not heard anything that can touch it for under $1500. The virtual absence of the typical "boxy" sound of wood enclosed speakers really let these speakers disappear in the soundstage.

This is great news about the new design. If Roy designs a speaker that is a little more than twice the price of the Europas, but is just 25% better than the Europas, there is going to be some really happy people. But 500%? I'm sure it was just a figure of speach to emphasize how much better the new design is than the Europa. Either way, its something I'm excited about. So is the new design going to be a floorstander or a monitor?
