I had the Europa speaker and was very impressed.
I say give the owner Roy a call, he is most gracious with his time and knowledge.
I don't know how else to say this ,but the Minis absolutely blew the Europa away in every regard. You may want to look at Aether Audio's Spirit 1. (recommended an amp with 200 watts with the Mini)
I sold these after 3 fantastic years. I could have lived forever with the Minis, but I wanted to try a new slightly smaller stand mount.
I am waiting to receive the Vapor Audio Breeze which I plan to pick up at Akfest in April. The Breeze lists at only $1250 in standard finish. Ryan custom builds each speaker, so I chose a custom redwood burl,curved cabinet,with matching stands. Vapor uses the outstanding Raal tweeter and a very well regarded woofer in the Wavcor.
There is a very nice pair of Volents vl2 used here, for an amazing price. I have always coveted this speaker. Read the 6moons review. I would look real hard at this monitor. They are efficient, gorgeous , amazing bass, ribbon tweeter etc...
You may want to widen your search as there are many great monitors out there, and it may be fun to try different manufacturer.Please note, I'm not saying the Rio and Eos are not fantastic speakers. In you price range I would also have a look at Fritz carbon 7 or 5, and Selah Audio.
Good luck in your search.
I will let others with more experience with Green Mountains give their impressions. This was my first real audiophile speaker.
The way I understand it, first order crossover speakers are more crucial to place correctly, and have a smaller sweetspot. I may be wrong on that.
I think if you want better feedback you should list what kind of music you listen to, what kind of spl levels you listen to, room size, amp to be used, and if you plan on running a subwoofer.
If you love the sound of your speakers, maybe moving up the line is great move for you.
I just think there are many great options for monitors for under $2500 especially when you are considering buying used.
