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?

The "new CEO" part is what makes me nervous.

Kclone,

Well said.

Drubin,

Don't worry. Apparently, there is new staff and Roy is still the boss. Just wait for their annoucement.

My local GMA dealer in Ohio believed so much in Roy and his products that he left his business and moved to Colorado to work for Roy. I know this guy is very high on what will be comming out of GMA in the future. I believe we are seeing the changes that a business goes through as it moves through the stages of growth. I have no affiliation or inside scoop, just a fan of the product.

Two words of of advise from a customer Roy. Make your speakers more visually appealing and don't abandon the sub $1000 market. Better yet, design a sub $500 speaker for us poor audiophiles.

The Europa is not discontinued, but will be a factory direct product from now on. Higher models will go through their existing dealer chain.

I spoke with their new CEO this morning. She seems like she has some good ideas. Going factory direct was the only way they could make a healthy margin on a low cost product.

Hope this helps. My europas are sounding very good ... more on this later. Sean
