Hi,
I will post more details soon.
These are exceptional monitors and rare on the secondary market.

Offer made. Sale pending. These are sold.

I have original boxes and the proper custom stands (about $500 new).
Speakers are in "like new" condition.
Blue Moon Award winner. See review excerpts and happy owner comments below.

Yes, I will ship, but these are about 55 pounds per unit. The original boxes are well constructed, but I still may double box.
If you don't know about Green Mountain audio, consider reading up on the company.
Roy is a true dedicated music lover. These speakers are often compared with those 3 to 4 times their original price. of $3,000

I have excellent feedback on Audiogon. PM me for my Agon name and perfect feedback record.
Feel free to ask questions.

$1350

Located in NC.

REVIEW EXCERPT:
From the 6moons review: ". . .it was impossible to identify any cabinet resonances - or anything else for that matter that was unnatural or unmusical. Talk about an open window on the performance. The resolution of minute musical detail was staggering." The Callistos were presented a Blue Moon Award

THE FOLLOWING ARE ALL COMMENTS FROM GREEN MOUNTAIN AUDIO OWNERS. EACH FROM A DIFFERENT PERSON.

I would suggest auditioning the Callisto's. They are a stunning speaker.

my wife walked into my room, sat down and closed her eyes. . .. There is no middle ground. After a spell, she turned and said these were indeed the best speakers she had heard in our home, ever. When asked why, she simply offered, "I only hear the music. I can't hear the speakers at all".

I heard the Callisto and it was stunning, a very good speaker, with no box coloration at all, if I were ever to get a monitor it would be hard to forget about the Green Mountain audition.

I have owned the Europas longer than any other speaker that I have ever owned and my wife and I enjoy them. If I ever get the upgrade bug, the Callistos will be our choice. If the Callistos are that much better than the Europas, the Callistos are a bargain. Thanks to Roy for making a great, reasonablly priced speaker.

The Green Mountain is the finest small speaker I have heard. It is honest, clean,

I also agree about the spectacular sound ... on a good recoding the speakers completely disappear, and there's a huge and deep soundstage with superb imaging.

AND, this long comment from a happy owner:
A dynamic that usually comes only from single driver or horn designs. The start and stop of percussion intruments is startling. The full tone burst of notes are readily heard. A light brush stroke on a cymbal followed by a thwack on a snare drum could be cause for the need for Depends big Jerry.

Transparency that lets you hear more deeply into the soundstage. This could be attributed to many factors BUT I can only make comparisons to other designs that I have heard. Since the GMA's allow me to hear more deeply into the recording venue without the sensation that everything is recessed or laid back, I find that it is truly transparent without trying to sound that way.

Bass that is tight and accurate in its tonality in comparison to what I hear live and unamplified. I have had the pleasure to hear many great local acts at a venue that does not use a PA system. Being a drummer, I know what most instruments sound like.

Mid range purity. Vocals have a purity that sounds real. Not hyper fat syrupy real. Just real. As a human (maybe not according to my wife), I know what the human voice sounds like. No other design has gotten this nearly as right as Green Mountain.

Price (required for AudioCircle FS ads) and your location would both be good to know.
