I have the Green Mountain Eauropa's and I LOVE them. My old speakers were ADS L-1290's, a classic design from the mid 1980's. The Europa's made them sound boxy. I have compared them to Accoustat panels and the Europa's have that electrostatic mid/high detail and warmth, but better low end. Have compared them to the Paradigm Reference 100's(at $3K) and again, the Europa's made the Paradigm's sound boxy, un-detailed and "artificial" if you can relate to that term. Not musical like the GMA's. Vocals, especially anything live, are simply breathtakingly clear. "Texture" is the only word that relates to voices on the Europa's. You hear emotion in vocals that simply isn't there in other speakers I have listened to. Imaging is to die for with these babies. The marble cabinets really are solid as hell. You can play these things so loud, things rattle in the room but walk up to the cabinet and place your hand on it: Nothing. No vibration whatsoever. Not familiar with the other two you mentioned, but I can tell you if they are not 1st order x-over(6db/octave), they will not sound as good as the Europa's. There is definately something to this phase alingment. You can find reviews of Green Mountain speakers by doing a search in Alta Vista. Also, on the web site www.audiogon.com go to discussion groups on the right side of the page, chose speakers, then type in europa or green mountain and see what others are saying about these remarkable speakers. You can reach the designer Roy Johnson at: gma@pcisys.net

Good listening,
Dale
