Green Mountain Continium 1.5, anyone heard these?

I am putting together a vintage system. Just found on his site a pristine Sansui AU717 and TU717. Next I will add a Sota Star Saphire to a Luxman PX 100. I will be auditioning a pair of 1.5's Saturday and will try them with the Sansui but I am curious if anyone here has any experience with this manufacturer. I had never heard of them untill a local dealer had a pair for sale and spoke glowingly of these speakers. Before anyone thinks agenda, the dealer is also a good friend. I was drawn to the speaker because their looks remind me of good old Dahlquist DQ6's and DQ8's. Do they sound even remotely like the DQ's? Just seeking impressions from experienced folks.
Thanks!

I can tell you without a doubt they will sound far better than your VR2s. As Oldears said, you are indeed in for a treat.

The 1.5s will sound much better than you current VS speakers. You will NOT be disappointed, more like pleasantly surprised.

Shy away if you must, but it's your loss. I only say this because I have owned the VR2s, so I'm not just blowing smoke.

And I did read your intention in your original post. But I think your secondary speakers will become your primary ones.

>I did pass on the 1.5's as, again, not looking to upgrade the VS' so why buy them?<

That is a truly ridiculous statement. And it sounds like your pride went before your common sense in this situation.

The VR2s are decent speakers and I am glad you enjoy them.
