Warmest sounding Green Mountain speaker?


Considering buying a pair of GMA speakers and wonder what is considered the warmest sounding of any in their line up past or present as the only thing I have reservations about is the tone might be a little on the lean side from what I have read compared to lets say Vandersteen which I have now.

I agree completly, but would like to add one other observation. GMA speakers are not plug n play in the sense that they need a little extra attention to get it right. Especially the larger models like my C3s which are user adjustable. Get it wrong and you will experience a sharpness in the upper midrange. But when it's right, you know it too.

If you want vandersteen sound, buy a vandersteen. The GMA speakers are not at all what I would call lean, just very true to the source. And I mean that in a good way, not analytical or dry. But I can't think of any of them I would describe as "warm". You should definitely try to hear a pair, you are welcome to hear mine if you are anywhere near virginia.

Pani,

To each his own is all I can say. I have heard the Callistos, the Europas, the Imagos, C3s and C3 HDs and I don't hear anything like what you describe.
You said it better than I could have. But you are right, the music is more alive. That's a very good way to say it.

Personally I think the GMA speakers work well with all types of music. But that transient speed is what makes them shine with acoustic music like bluegrass.
