When I did an extensive demo of the Callisto they were very VERY impressive! I wasnt prepared to like them as much as I did after hearing them, they were clear well defined, tight and imaged great...I thought they were a killer speaker and I kinda liked how they looked!
GMA Callisto's: Opinions
Hi, I know there are probably numerous threads on these speakers but I have to make a quick decision w/ no audition and am too lazy to read through every thread.
Either buying these for myself or recommend them for a musician/recording friend who wants a studio (read: accurate )monitor.
Have found a decent deal (I think, approx. $1400-1500, perfect condition) on them locally. I live in an apt./condo and will be doing so for the forseeable future (300-400 sq. ft). Plan on running 80-150 watts, tubes somewhere (don't know if it matters, pre now but undecided on amp...likely hybrid power amp)
Pretty much as much as I'd like to afford given my buying spree lately.
Unfortunately, I personally think they're ugly as sin but if they are as good as the reviews make them out...
Especially looking for immediacy, imaging (as if they are in the room, etc), tonal accuracy, details w/o being harsh, decent (note: I live in a condo) bass..
Thanks, any help would be appreciated.
