New Green Mountain Rios - has anyone heard them?

Yes, I sold a pair of Marten Designs "Dukes"(which cost 5k) to get these and couldn't be more pleased.

I've spent the last 3 years looking for a pair of two-ways that were good enough for audio mastering and these out performed speakers costing four times as much. The only mini-monitor I've ever heard best the Rio is the Eos.

I liked the line and designer so much, I've become a retailer.

IMHO, the Rio is one of the best values on the planet.

Good Luck,
Kory

I have always been intrigued by the GMA products and the reviews, then I go to their website and look at them and I just cannot get past their looks. They have to be one of the ugliest speakers in all of high end. I wish I was not so shallow, but I cannot buy a pair of speakers I detest looking at. Just my opinion.

someone needs to overhaul the website.

>someone needs to overhaul the website.

Why do you say that? It's not particularly slick but it's very informative and even compelling. Compare it to, oh, Vandersteen.

Further thought: Roy Johnson of Green Mountain Audio is one of the best writers among high end manufacturers and he is very generous with his knowledge on the website. Others in that same elite group include Charles Hansen (Ayre), Karl Schuster (Empirical Design) and Mark Jenkins (Antipodes Audio).
