| I need help from GMA Europa owners You'll get many different suggestions on stands, I've tried only one, so I'm not claiming it to be the best... I use the Osiris stand, super sturdy, heavy one piece construction (not "bolt together"), fillable, great looking and reasonably priced.... | |
| Europa/PSB Silveri/Meadowlark kestrel 2 I'm probably one of the few that likes the aesthetics of the Europas. Abbeydog has a good point that a nice set of stands does help, my Osiris stands certaily add to their appearance. I made a new set of speaker grills from 1/8" masonite stretched... | |
| Still pondering Paradigms It's certainly your call on speaker choice, but as an owner of Paradigm Studio 40, Totem Forest and GMA Europa, my system & my ears identified the Europa as the better choice. Why not try them out for yourself? I know from posts above that you... | |
| Still pondering Paradigms 2chnlben: You're right, I just checked their dealer list, they don't have a dealer in IA. You're in a tough spot. I would have never have bought them if I didn't hear them in my living room. Are there better speakers for comperable cost, sure, man... | |
| The listening constraints have been lifted Do you guys know how people talk about how their amplifier makes their speakers "sing"... it only happens at certain levels. I was first thrilled that I didn't have to attend the shower with my wife and girls!!! Then, my son had to work, I was pum... | |
| Still pondering Paradigms I owned the Studio 40s for a year, nice speakers, I bought them used for $750. I moved to a pair of B&W N805, which I felt were superior to the 40s in every way (double the cost). I then moved on to a pair of Totem Forest, nice, but not necess... | |
| Time Coherent Under $1K Europas are simply stunning. $600 will get you a pair here. $800 will get you a new pair (with some coaxing). Read the posts here. Tough to beat. | |
| CD player recs under $2000 to replace Jolida Nzera, you will likely get a lot of advice here, all not necessarily experienced with the Jolida. Just a suggestion...it would be great to ask if anyone has experiecnce with their offerings vs. the Jolida and what their experience is in the differ... | |
| Stands for Green Mountain Europa Osiris/Europa works for me (see my system). It looks like they're made for each other...great match. | |
| Best system to be done for $4500-5000. Tig,Check out my system. I have recently downgraded the cost by 40%. Most of this was bought new/demo. The whole shot is under $4.5k including cables, PCs and Porter Ports. Cables are so subjective, I'll leave that up to you (although I love VH Au... | |

| VenHaus Pulsar™ interconnects Roger, I have the exact same s/u as you with the Pulsar ICs and Starquad wire from Chris (see my system). I A/B compared these wires with many wires you mentioned and Chris' came out on top for me. I'm curious to see what you conclude. I terminate... | |
| too much hype in audio I owned a pair of Klipsch Hereseys for 18 years and was happy. One day, when it seemed Ebay was only selling Beenie Babies, just for the hell of it I searched for Klipsch, and to my amazement I saw 3 pair of Hereseys listed. I never had an avenue ... | |
