I have not heard the particular speakers you asked about, but I have heard and owned quite a few of Roy's designs.

Once you hear time and phase coherency done right, it's hard to go back to anything else. I currently have the Continuum 3 HDs and I believe them to be fantastic speakers. I don't think there is anything that I could afford that can beat them. Something will, for sure, but it's probably out of my reach.

As mentioned earlier, give Roy a call. He is always ready to talk about his speakers.

The most important aspect of GMA speakers to me is that they sound more like performers in your room, than a just a good pair of speakers playing music in your room. Exciting is exactly how I would describe them. And bass response is world class when you move up to the flagship. The monitors will give you sufficient bass for what they are.

Georger,

I feel the same way as you do about my C3 HDs. Sometimes I have fleeting thoughts about upgrading to something else, then I spend a few hours with them and those thoughts are chased away.

If the Chroma is adjustable, what you are hearing may be attributed to that. I know I can make my C3s sound horrible without much effort. And when you get it right, it's pretty obvious. Are you sure you have them dialed in as well as possible?

I have owned the Imago IIIs, the Callistos, and now the C3s. I know jdoris likes the Montanas, and I did too for many years. But all the GMA speakers I have owned made the Montanas sound boxy, and well, like speakers.

If you keep your eye out, some of full range GMA speakers come up from time to time. I could never have afforded my C3s when new. But I got a killer deal on a used pair that I just couldn't pass up.
