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?

"Europa II" not going to happen. "Callisto" is going into the molding process within the next week, production should follow, with delivery of the first units toward the end of Sept.

I have heard from folks who have called their phone number that the new speaker (the Callisto) will be available in September. I suggest giving them a call. Supposedly, news on the new speaker will be unveiled soon. I an not sure if the Europa will be discontinued or not. At this point, I was wondering if the news on the new speaker has been released and I missed it.

Ther is going to be Callisto, Peco and Calypso. Callisto is going to be the first, at around 2k, production wise followed by the Calypso. Then the Peco will be created. So if I understand correctly, price wise it will be the Europa, the Callisto, the Peco, the Calypso, and then the Continuum lines.

I talked to Roy tonight while he was putting down a couple slices of pizza. What a great guy!

Received my new GMA newsletter this evening, with new GMA logo. Oh, yeah, and pictures of prototype Callisto! Along with specs. And a sheet from which to choose the hardwood base for the bottom-ported, raised design. They're quite cool looking. Should have my pair by late September. Bottom line, as has been said -- Europa is NOT discontinued. It will be factory direct for $995. The Callisto is available for $1,795 through 10/31, then it goes to $2,295.
