GMA Callisto feedback Green Mountain Audio


Anyone else breaking in a pair of these speakers? I have a pair with about 24 hours on them, and I hear moments of spectacular sound, but not yet at low listening levels. I know 200 hours is the magic break-in time period.

See my system under "Leahy" listed under "evolving system" for other system details.

Let me know if you would like updates as these break in...

I have a new pair of Callisto's with about 80 hrs on them. I let mine play continuously for a couple of days with different types of music before I gave them any critical listening. I cannot say enough about the MUSIC these speakers make. My room is small, 13x15x9.5 and I have brought out cd's I haven't listened to for years. I never heard all the music before or known the artist to sound so good. I now marvel in their talents and Roy Johnson is a genius. The break in period is very short to achieve great sound, but they get better every time I listen to the Callisto's. As far as low level listening, I have found with most speakers, wire and tubes will change the sound. Low level listening in my situation has been extremely satisfying and this is with 15 watts of tube power. Best speakers I heard at the Denver Audio Fest.
John, my room is a disaster compared to most. I have 54" windows on two sides, a 60" doorway, then french doors on another wall that I leave open when possible. I cannot say enough about the Callisto's. The sound is not directed into one "sweet spot" like most monitors I have heard. The bottom port and the adjustability of the Callisto's makes music in every part of the room. If I am in another part of the house, I turn them up a little and go about my work and the sound is still very good. I went to Audio Fest in Denver and planned to return with Von S. or others. I was drawn back to Green Mountain every time. No other sounded this good. I bought the Callisto's on the spot and waited three weeks for Roy to build them. It was worth the wait. I believe you can demo the Callisto's in your home. I'll be surprised if you send them back. Give Roy a call at 719-636-2500. Green Mountain Audio are good people that care about the music.
Janet, the new CEO at Green Mountain will go out of her way to make you happy with their product. I have not known Green Mountain long, but their speakers speak for themselves. The people have a real passion for their product and the music. What more could I ask for in an audio company? I am buying more music since I purchased the Callisto's.

I have owned the Callisto's since Oct. 2004 and I am done looking for speakers. It is nice to have a speaker that is so enjoyable to listen to the music. The sound not only fills my room, I can turn them up and work in another part of the house and enjoy the music. I have listened to more music, bought more music and am now enjoying doing little tweaks to my system with power cords and tubes. I did not know Green Mountain Audio before the Rocky Mountain Audiofest. I was sold on the sound alone. Now that I know the company and designer Roy Johnson, I am compelled to share what I hear in their great sounding speakers. Hearing the music all over again has made this journey well worth my time. Enjoy!
