Any Green Mountain Audio Continuum 3 owners ?
Rick -Contact Mike in NYC; (Mikeajen@aol.com) he has a pair of new C-3's and loves them. I've talked to him at length over the phone about the GMA's and many other speakers he has tested. Mike is a very friendly guy and likes to talk audio. FWIW, ... 
Your thoughts on monitors
Look into Earthworks Audio Sigma 6.2. I've read very good things about their monitors. Not sure about their costs.http://www.earthwks.com/ns/speakers.html 
Revel vs. Aerial vs. B&W
My $.02:Open up your search. There are a lot of good speakers out there in your price range, so I'd test as many of the following speakers as I could:Vandersteen - 5AAvalon - Eidalon Von Schweikert - vr7 Burmester - B99Avantegarde - DuoGMA - C-3Ve... 
Revel Studios for half price?
Geoh - For a little more money you should look into Green Mountain Audio C-3's. http://www.greenmountainaudio.com/Roy Johnson the owner and engineer is one of the brightest and technically sound speaker designers out there. Do a search on this sit... 
Green Mountain Audio still in business?
Slappy, give Roy a call... he will be able to answer all your questions. Since you only live about an hour away I would encourage you to go visit him and listen to his offerings. Roy is very personable and eager to talk about all things related to... 
Green Mountain Audio still in business?
I just got off the phone with Roy (1/19 3:05 pm EST) and he wanted me to tell everyone he hasn't checked emails since last Thursday, because he is busy filling orders. Knowing how cool Roy is, I'm sure he will be in touch with you as soon as possi... 
Has Anyone Heard Mueta Amps?...
I checked with Wal Mart last week to see if they carry any $25K tube amps. The 97 year old stock boy said they were all out. He recommended I try Circuit City. ;-) 
Minor phase plate incident with midrange of Hales
I've got T-5's as well and think they are a very nice speaker. How do you like yours? The T-5's like a lot of power and I'm only driving them with 105 wpc, so I'm not recieving the full potential of what these speakers have to offer. In spite of t... 
Can speakers be too good?
Another speaker you should look into is Green Mountain Audio's Europa. You can do a search on this site for feedback on these speakers (all of which is very positive). I've spoken to Roy Johnson (the designer and owner) and he's not only extremely... 
Narrowing down floorstander selection.
If you can squeeze another $2K out of your wallet, there is a pair of used Hales T-8's for sale on this site. They will blow away anything mentioned so far and are a steal at $6K. I have the T-5's and they are superior IMO across the entire listen... 
Jolida JD302B - Speaker Choice
For a tad more money you should also consider the Green Mountain Audio Europas. You can check out many of the positive reviews on this site. 
Best value speakers available
Three years ago when I was in the hunt for new speakers I listened to B&W, Paradigm, Tannoy, Martin Logan, Linn, Revel 20's, Vandersteen, Sonus Faber, Vienna Acoustic and a couple of others when I finally came across Hales Design Group T-5's. ... 
Which speaker is the master of IMAGING ????
Speaking of Totem Accoustics has anyone heard the Shaman or Wind models? I've read two good reviews on the Shaman in spite of their 5 speaker 3-way 2nd order cross over design. The "Wind" model is very interesting looking, but once again I'm very ... 
Gilmore Audio planars revealed
I may be in the minority on this one, but excluding the center channel my design training suggests to me that these speakers are aesthetically challenged. For almost $20K they could have spent a little more attention to designing a front plane wit...
